Mutley,
Totally 100% agree - lets just learn from this episode so that Harry Black becomes the exception rather than the norm and that when the commanders on the ground go to that well worn staff puke college phrase of 'tool box' to get some 'tools' that there is something for them to use besides bodge tape.
But then I suppose if the tool box was empty except for Harry Black, they could always go their 'golf bag' to see what that had in it...
