And Henderson was a former RAF officer, according to the news trail? If that, too, is fact, now would be the time for a shaming 'distancing' statement from H.M.'s military
I think many of us would be pretty p’d off if “H.M. Military” started commenting on something we had done twenty, thirty or even more years after we’d chucked in our ID as we left the premises for the last time.
According to some sources (upthread if I remember correctly, certainly from elsewhere) he was an officer relatively briefly and a long time ago, but it seems to be an “angle” the press were fond of.
Edit to add: slow typing, I see parkfell has filled in some of the gaps…
