I’d say that the more we see the likes of Flight Lieutenant Michelle Goodman DFC and Corporal David Hayden MC on the benighted streets of UK, wearing either dress or working uniform, the better. I have a growing sense that an increasingly visible uniformed Service presence may serve as a much needed reassurance to the civil population that the nation still possesses an honourable, selfless and professional force that can ultimately be called upon to deal with serious exigencies both at home as well as overseas. Moreover, perhaps such a growing presence is urgently required in light of what seems to be a decreasing presence of the Police Force on our streets and may even be catalytic in encouraging a reversal of this catastrophic phenomenon.
