This is a terrible waste of taxpayers money. Whatever next. These RAF pilots using taxpayers money to enjoy themselves will only give our hard working politicians ideas. I can envisage all sorts of jollies been organised by politicians using this as RAF detachment as an example.
The politicians will want to, at the taxpayers expense:-
Travel 1st Class.
Hold meetings on world poverty in places like the Bahamas while staying in 5* hotels.
Use Taxis to visit friends.
Get approx £10,000 per year to pay a mortgage on a flat in Edinburgh and keep the profit when they sell it.
Have a chauffer driven car to take them to Aberdeen to catch a flight home and give their girlfriends a lift to work.
Claim motor mileage for Scottish trips when they are out of the country.
Where will it all end

(most of the examples are taken from that waste of taxpayers money the Scottish Talking Shop

(hope it was as good as our mountain flying detachments to BK in the 70s. Recce the slopes am ski pm)
