R U mental?
Right you lot......are you actually crackers or what?
Should the RN Historic Flight have a SHAR? Barking mad....as an ex, there's no chuffing way you'd get me up purely on very perishable polling skills, let alone rarely used engines and bearings.
We weren't allowed a fully serviceble jet or fully current Sqn boss to get to the end of an era do at Greenwich a year ago. How do you possibly think that a SHAR, mark irrelevant, would get there now?
If the Crabs are honcho-ing the memory, hopefully the Vulcan will be able to get airborne costing a disproportionate amount of money and miss the target due to 'poor cartography'. Whatever.
Back to the subject of SHARs, sure there are serviceable ones down at Culdrose and they would be more appropriate than a bloody Spit or something, but is it really crucial? At the moment the FAA is imploding due to quality Air Rank scheming, and while the memory of what everyone did is vital to our ethos and ultimately future, we have to ensure that the present is paid enough attention to carry on WAFU traditions......so embrace any GR7/9 attendance especially if the Quiche have anything to do with it. Sad but true, the deep red of their badges lives on!!!!!! Long live the chequered death!!!
