Armed Forces Bill - Big Changes for RAF

I was having a browse through the new Armed Forces Bill. Apart from the well publicised changes to the armed forces criminal justice system, it appears there will be quite a few other significant changes affecting the RAF, including:

New offences of 'Low Flying' and 'Annoyance by Flying'.

The incorporation of Air Navigation Order offences into service law.

Provision for testing for alcohol and drugs after a serious incident.

A statutory duty will be placed on commanding officers to make the service police aware of the possibility of a serious offence having been committed.

The service police will have the power to arrest any officer, regardless of rank, for a service offence.
