Not still bitter are we old chap??
Actually Twopack, I was on a Naval Squadron and chopped by a Navy Standards pilot. Bitter? Possibly, but not with the RAF. Infact a very nice RAF chap suggested that I could transfer to them. Indeed quite recently a very decent RAF Officer has suggested that I could still transfer to them.
I like the RAF, I did an RAF Flying Scholarship and they helped me fly at 17 before I could drive.
It's all just good banter, but what I have been amazed by is the real venom that some of you have replied with. Especially that Roland chap, obviously a lovely bloke who drives a very long car. Do the RAF do banter or just take themselves far too seriously and get all upset and lash out? I am a little dissapointed the way this thread has gone actually.
The RAF is the Junior service and quite frankly who cares!!! And yes Blacksheep that was a superb comeback!!
Now shall we all just calm down?
