Always broken.........

you left so much out:

Declaring more aircraft than actually exist on a daily basis.
Using crews on UK leave to bulk up the numbers and then complaining when they had to be used.
Frantic scrambling to find a map of anywhere other than 'Bandit Country'. Even when they find the map, forgetting to use it and bonging the border (a bit unfair this one!).
Complaining that the RAF worked 21/7, even though they wouldn've liked to do so themselves.

We could of course go on. As for the BFI shooting? At least the RAF managed to hit something..........

Credit where it is due to the Lynx chaps in the south though, they generally managed to find R850 without GPS!

Hook set, waiting for the reply



Foz2,

Almost forgot.

Despite all of the light hearted banter that you have read, or maybe chosen to ignore, it's up to you to make the choice. Research all 3 Services and make an informed decision.......

With any luck you'll have a great time.
