Blimey!
I am delighted that the services are beginning to gel effectively in some theatres (well done AH and RN WAFUs).
However given the increased frequency of these ops and the very real possibility of wearing lead, it's only going to take one Melchett to order an aircraft captain into the air cos he thinks it's a 4-tonner, the captain to exercise his right as captain to say 'NO' and before you know it we'll all be shot at dawn with a less than evens chance of being pardoned 100 yrs later........I am still deeply suspicious.
Until the RAF has some seriously powerful backing with an equal voice in the right places we will be rail roaded again - it must not happen!
