Amazingly thosen last kills by the RAF took place 25 years ago yesterday, according to the internet, Flt lt Leeming credited with a skyhawk on the 21st may.

Is its just time, or me, but I feel uncomfortable using the word 'Credited' given that Lt Marquez lost his life.

How do the regular fliers cope with that? On the ground all you here about is 'numbers' yet pilots have to live with records showing a name against them.

Any comment?
