Hear hear Tim
A few months ago I was reading my unit's escapades in WW2 in the vast scrapbooks that we have in our history room. Amongst all the stories of derring do in the U-boat war were pictures of happy crews laughing, joking , drinking. Next month it was reported that Crew X failed to return from a mission - the Sqn drank to their memories and carried on with the war. I marvelled at the resilience of those crews.
The whole focus of the faces that jumped out of those historical pages was to win the war.
Not once did I read that Mission Y was cancelled due to tech reasons, or that the Sqn had run out of flying hours that month, or that there was only one serviceable Sunderland on the slipway.
And not once did I read that money was an issue. It was, of course, but that was a problem for another day.
These people had a war to win.
We've got two now - can someone tell me where we've gone wrong?
