... whinge about how the navy pilots were near the back, then on a final note bleated that "its really all about the navy you know" - basically letting all know he was somewhat irritated that the RAF appeared to be taking part at all. How sad & bitter. Anyone know who it was?
One Commodore Neill Thomas CBE DSC (801 Sqn RNAS, HMS HERMES) - a fine representative of Royal Navy thinking being 400 years of tradition unmarred by progress. The most annoying part of this interview however was its timing - showing it when they did meant there was no coverage of the RAF veterans marching past HRH. Even more shameful IMO than the meaningless waffle that accompanied the flypast - though I thought that 203(R) Sqn DID supply the Sea King?
But kudos to those service personnel and veterans who took part on the ground and in the air.
