Even HMT needs a little more evidence upon which to base major decisions!
Without mistaking the obviously prejudiced comments of a few as representative (there seems to be only half a dozen individuals, if we include Tim Collins, who are determined to put-down the RAF) it is, nevertheless, entertaining to see just how narrow these views are.
The RAF has put a great deal of effort into embracing Jointery - it is evident that some of our colleagues are less Joint in outlook. That is their mistake and such legacy thinking will ultimately only discredit their own organisations. We should not abandon the intellectual high-ground by adopting equally puerile counter-arguments. Interesting that so many hang around this forum and appear so bitter – failed RAF perhaps?
rafloo, rat, SASless, Lazer (er, that’s it I think) – I’m sure you know better but be good chaps and run along now – let the professionals get on with delivering air – and space – power!
