I think Tangmere is a housing estate these days
Jacko Even the Welsh Air Force wouldn't deliberately target civilians...
I get the gist of it though. Unless I'm much mistaken he's saying the armed forces have become invisible to the population at large. The result is an apathy towards what you are all doing. In fact, the majority of the populace of UK would prefer that you were all out of the sandpit and back at home, parading on Horse Guards or frightening honest country folk by occasionally blowing the tiles off their roof with a Tornado or two. With the firemen threatening to strike and the security gates at Heathrow under-staffed, people are beginning to ask where the armed forces have got to as well. But you're not allowed to wear uniform at the airport, are you?
