So anything I did read in QR's I quickly forgot about because I didn't feel it was relevant to my job. I left it to the blunties to remind everyone that they were entitled to ride a horse into work, etc.
in fact, in most of my experience the people that care about that stuff only have time to care about it because the were not actually involves in delivering air power. Maybe that is you, I don't know.

Also the guy was a wing commander, surely the higher up you progress the higher standard one should be held to?
