I also live in the East, and Look East is a delight. However, it is not without it's faults. There is a new Base Commander recently arrived at Mildenhall, a refuelling base. She is a lady, and virtually the first thing that the chief Look East reporter [NOT Stuart White] asked her was how she felt about being here in view of the fact that a Lakenheath based F.15 had killed some of our guys in theatre!! Poor lady was completely taken aback, and really didn't know what to say in reply. It was a completely crass question from someone who should have known much better. What a welcome. Don't suppose he will get invited back. My wife and I were very embarrassed that he should have asked such a question on her welcoming interview. I wonder why he didn't ask this question at Lakenheath. That would have been more relevant.!!
