Well OK, chaps, I can see your point about being reluctant to relocate - the turbulence of posting is a definite push force these days, it seems.

But I find it hard to believe that the 'pointy heads' of Suffolk consider the Apache more of an annoyance than 2 squadrons of F4s were. We also flew some low level trips around East Anglia - as did our Buccaneer and later, Tornado, colleagues at Honington and Marham. And the Colt Jags, Twinbase A-10s and Wyton Canberras.....

If the objection is on legitimate tactical training grounds, then you most certainly have a genuine complaint and need to make the point with the MoD-box dwellers. But if it's just that the Army doesn't like Suffolk (which I still don't understand...), then that's hardly a good reason to feel quite so aggrieved - apart from the general turbulence of relocation, that is.
