I read through this post thinking it was just another bitch about nothing - until I went to the RAF Web Site and
saw what it was all about!
This is a bloody disgrace - what's happened to the RAF. Does a ten minute paint job need a PRESS RELEASE! Last time the RAF had anything to do with me was 1969 - but it seemed to work OK then.
Timelines were as follows:
15 Sep Defence
PR tasked IPTL
18-19 Sep Service Modification Leaflet Written
20-22 Sep Trials and Sample Photos
27 Sep Defence
PR endorsement received
28 Sep Commander JHC endorsement received
28 Sep -14 Oct Release to Service Approval, MOD London
14 Oct Aircraft Painting Commences!
