Saw the article myself in the Telegraph this morning, & frankly couldn't believe that anyone would be that much of a Christmas killjoy. Having spent Christmas in the sandpit I know tasking gets a bit low, & so there's an opportunity to actually enjoy Christmas. Does said army officer expect that RAF personnel not working during lunch on 25th should all be miserable because some of the green brethen have to walk the mean streets of Basrah? I'm sure that ATC in the tower, RAF Regt on force protection, fireman etc will all be working too. And will ALL the army be on the streets? I expect some will be in the mess pulling a cracker.
Frankly the man's a t**t, or a misquoted one.
