I am sure he is a very capable man but given the recent history of hitting diversity targets it does make one wonder (rightly or wrongly) if key posts are getting filled based on ability or on how good the candidate looks in promo leaflets and adverts.
I don't know the guy, and have no reason to doubt he is an exceptional WO and the right choice for the job, but the fact you raise that point just shows how dangerous Wigstons' tinkering has been. Wigston should have been sacked some time ago, and the fact he wasn't tells us about our political leadership. The fact he wasn't given a reality check by those close to him tells about those that succeed him. Either way, by ramming through diversity in such a hamfisted way, he's actually prejudiced opinion of minorities, with people questioning why they are in elevated posts.
In short -Wiggy is a tool and has buggered the RAF for years to come.
