From MoD's own news site (

Air Chief Marshal Torpy said that he is planning to learn to fly a C130 Hercules very soon:
"I think in some ways it's easier to be at the sharp end than trying to grapple with all the other problems that you have to do when you get to the top of any big organisation.
"I try and keep as close as I can in contact with the front line, because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about and I go and fly on the Squadrons wherever I can to see what the youngsters are really doing."
Which is surely all that HRH - one day to become head of the UK's Armed Forces (if there are any left by then) - was doing?
This is an utter non-event and if all Torpy has to do is to chew the carpet over the issue, he should look in the mirror first.
