And there was I thinking that the initial gripe was about the content of the article
Three Tornado squadrons from RAF Lossiemouth are to deploy to Iraq
The only time I have seen a Tornado on the ground in Iraq was when they div'd in with some sort of problem. Never seen any sqns actually "deployed" there yet
And as pointed out by several, they have been deployed to the
Gulf region for years. Although I would not call this a non-story, if it highlights to Joe Public the part the RAF is playing in ops out east. I am surprised though that the BBC did not refer to the RAF servicemen and women as
squadies for once
MadMark!!!
