Back to the RAF News...

Just opened the latest edition and I have a funny feeling that it may rather annoy any personnel who are, or have recently been, delayed in theatre due to AT issues.

There is a rather lovely picture of a meet & greet onboard one of our C17s where people are having a polite glass of mineral water with a few members of the Royal family. Now, if we could honestly tell the guys out in theatre that this meet & greet did not require the C17 in question to be cleaned from top to bottom then fine, not a snag however, I rather suspect that it was kept on the ground for longer than need be when, quite frankly, the drinks could have been held in the mess.

This is in no way a slur on the AT guys, I know how hard you guys work however, it strikes me as a bad PR hit as far as the army goes.
