Errr... Perhaps we should all sit back.. acknowledge that, as young aircrew, things are done... Some of them make "legendary" status and most don't. When they make that exalted status they get... errr... a little, exaggerated... It's part of the "reality" of being aircrew.
Those that know the truth, (all right, the
alleged truth), can sit back and bathe in it's glory. Those that don't or were not close to the "crime" should be allowed to spread the exaggerated glory for the benefit of the original "criminal" and the good of the RAF as a whole...
It should never be argued about in a public forum... By doing so you give ammunition to those who would disrespect the great tradition of the Junior Service, (and it is great - despite what you may be told), and therefore bring closer the dissolution of our heritage as the idiots above think that the British Military doesn't need a concentrated, mission oriented, air force.
Gentlemen, we did what we did, you do what you do... But we all did it for the betterment of Great Britain. No if's, and's or but's...
This should be the end of any argument...
But some silly sod is going to disagree with that...
