I especially liked FlyNavy's piece:
"I can honestly say that as i worked on 800NAS for over 4 years and saw the end of the mighty SHAR, I have now moved on to the GR7 and yes it has its failings and some things are not quite as good as the mighty shar but we all move on and I think you should too.
Like previous people have said their are costs to be cut and guidelines to be met and paying for the shar and its limited capability is just a waste of money. And if we can make some savings and use that cash eleswhere then surely this is a good thing
The GR7 can do the same as the SHAR it just does it better and with more stores on board!
Blimey listen to me go on and I am Navy thru and thru!! But here i am singing the praises of the RAF!!"
