100% agreed Al R. One gets the feeling of "at last!"
Having been saddened by some of the utterances (and silences) of my still serving contemporaries and having felt totally for the flying ladies after the crass "Samsonite" faux pas, I think that here we have a well deserved and well handled bit of positive publicity for the Service.
It's good for the girls, good for the SH world, good for the Rocks and good for the RAF at large.
It's also good for the morale of boring retired old duffers (like Beags).
