What's all this bleating because the guy went to a real mates stag do rather than stay and drink beer with "his course mates"? He didn't do any real courses and so did not graduate with "his course". He jumped around from one aircraft to another and never was a real part of any true course. As such he did not have "course mates" to drink beer with.
As for the use of a Chinny to ferry him and his bro' to the party, so what! It was real training for the real crew, whether or not the Nu-Labour spin coming from the MOD and RAF mouth-pieces is believed. I am with those that see nothing wrong with the flight, but a hell of a lot wrong with the lies about the training value for Wills!! Bo!!ox was it a flight for his training benefit! It was a training flight for the crew on the back of a taxi service for him and Harry, but training flight for the crew non-the-less!
And as for those that think the cab should have been out in the 'stan, if that were the case what would the crews and studes at home use to continue their training? This flight was training for such a crew back home.
MadMark!!!
