Call me a cynic, but it just sounds to me like this guy is a tory looking for ammunition to score points over the current govt in the house for political gain. I could be wrong and he may really care about the RAF, however I would urge caution as to what you divulge - it could bite you and I suspect he won't give two hoots. The tone of parts of his thread implies to me that his motivation is not as noble as he would like you to think.
