What a Bloater!

Bahrain this Month - Distinguished Serviceman

Came across this article in an online Bahrain magazine about an ex-RAF helicopter pilot.

Who IS this cheesehammer?

Whilst I appreciate there may have been some editing out of his control, but what a bloater…..of the most tenuous links with the Royal Family!

Rumour has it this pilot was “asked to leave” the Service - so not sure how that can be classed as a ‘distinguished’ career?

I’d also like to share the links I had with the Royal Family during my ‘very average’ career:

1. I’ve met the Duke of Edinburgh, when I was on a church parade as an Air Cadet.

2. I once had the privilege of driving past Her Majesty’s residence in central London.

3. On a number of occasions I have flown in the same airspace as her majesty……several weeks apart.

😝😉

Oh and I too have a Commissioning scroll on my wall, but I’m sure it’s a printed signature rather than ‘personally’ signed?

Am I being mean here or is this article a bit ‘cringy’?

Thoughts?
