Surely we must all accept that times have changed, both in the Royal Air Force and outside! Possibly this is because there has been a major change in the way that life is now lived and the way that things are viewed overall ! I would have no wish to rejoin an Air Force that still insisted on blanket bed-packs every morning (for instance!), however, I would still love to rejoin an Air Force that has the capabilities of our current one and (personally) would not really miss the "bull-s--t" that we had some 60 years ago ( and more recently!).
Most of us on this forum were, or are, in what I feel is still the greatest Air Force going and one which I, rightly or wrongly, feel is being demeaned by petty disagreements or politics. It is still the Royal Air Force, and we should be proud to serve, or have served in it !
