Well, Old Timer, your thoughts are appreciated. However, the aircrew is only one element of the team that gets the jet to where it is needed. Today is a Sunday and the Nimrod doesn't fly on Sundays, unless operationally (or ceremoniously) needed. We don't have the human resources, any more. OK, the aircrew are not overworked at the moment, while at home, so a bit of weekend flying (yesterday included) is nothing to complain about. In fact it was a good reason to fly. However, the groundcrew supporting the two flights this weekend went into work in addition to their normal work routine. And its Father's Day, today. Again, pride in our our predecessors in the Falklands and the "Proud to be British" sentiment when Trooping the Colour and showing off our Service, suggests no complaints from my groundcrew colleagues, but we must never forget that we are all in the same team.
