What really Pi**es me off is :

1. Not that,the said Major may be disatisfied with the air support he gets, fair comment, but it is the fact he blames the RAF, its not their fault , it is the fault of government for not providing proper assets to do the job.

2. He obviously does not know the art of the possible (straffing without guns).

3. That the real gripe is, why has the press latched onto this story, when the slightest bit of informed comment would put it into context and make it not be worthy of comment.

4. Why has the BBC and Sky put it at the top of their bullitens, hour after hour, when anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see it is one pi88ed off (and uninformed) voice venting steam .

5. Will the editors for Sky and BBC please reply as to why this uninformed story gets priority over the truth?


For all the RAF guys out in AF, ignore it, you are all doing the biz and if one numpty in a thousand says different, listen to the other 999.
