Thought occurs . . .
For the whole time the RAF has been in existance it has been a bit of ready banter that we were the only service to send our officers to war, the troops stayed back at base and fixed things to allow this to happen.
Now though, the troops have to be on the front line fixing things (UAV's) and the officers are back at base making things happen from there!
Bit of an inversion if you ask me.
And just how does the 'pilot' tell the liney what snags the airframe has got?
