ahhh thats the answer lets not bother with the RAF A/T fleet just tell the boys to get up to kabul and jump on the KAM or Ariana flights to dubai and the get home from there ahhh you have solved all the problems, bet they dont make em wear tin hats and body armour either easy eh?
Obviously Harry could have just got a taxi from Helmand to the airport as well even easier, damn why did the MOD not think about that

Do you not think that using the established airbridge for a "soldier in theatre" is not the right way to do it then?
The whole thing about this is the bloke was trying to be a normal squaddie, so quite rightly he used the system that is in place to get him home, no special treatment! It would have been a travesty and an insult to the other troops if they had laid on any special flights or given him any special treatment
Overall I think the bloke has done pretty well, real shame the story got out, looks like he has matured a hell of a lot as well
