Well said. Much of what you have so bravely said has been reiterated at many a crew-room and Happy Hour chat. I know that most above the rank of Wg Cdr will dismiss your comments but your basic argument should be a fundamental of leadership and morality within the RAF - NOT GUILTY until proved otherwise. I hope John Day reflects on the whole episode and is ashamed of his own bombastic and arrogant attitude, having read your letter.
You're still ugly though!
