Crikey! There's a few teddies in corners on this thread! Can't we all just get along??!! Here's food for thought - most pilots in the AAC would jump at the chance to transfer to the RAF - I know because I'm one of them and all the people I know feel the same!!! (Trouble is the RAF won't even give you a second glance if you're an NCO though - b@gger!) I have the utmost respect for our light blue brethren - they are thoroughly professional and in the Air Force flying comes first - most of my peers agree there is too much Army in the AAC and that's the main problem.
