How seven words might affect a career!

32 (The Royal) Sqn has experienced a lot of pain in recent years with uncertainty around aircraft contract extensions, particularly with the A109S helicopter contract.

Flt Cdr Ops, Sqn Ldr Tom Woods, mistakenly called the boss of 32 Sqn by the Daily Mail, wrote seven words which has brought the spotlight of No 10 swinging in his direction to illuminate his Station magazine article, "at the request of the Prime Minister".

As a former editor of the Brize Norton Gateway magazine, I know the politics and pitfalls of writing articles for the interest of station personnel. Perhaps the editor of this magazine should have tuned their political antennae before going to press?

What memories do PPRuNe members have about things going to print which probably should have been edited out?
