You're not so free of sneaky vitriol yourself you bloody hippocrite.
While others probably wiser than I have let this pass without comment I feel compelled to do so. At least it wasn't followed by the usual depressing posts of "Well Said", "Great Post", or just "
". No doubt they will follow now! It is clear that many posting here are under considerable pressure and strain. I am not, being retired, and feel genuine sympathy with them. However the "P" in PPrUNe, or one of them at least, stands for Professional. Neither stands for p****d. This is a complex situation with historical, immediate and long term ramifications. It is not helped by contributions such as above. Everyone presumably wants to ensure that the Nimrod and all other military aircraft meet the required prescribed regulations. This thread should be about how to get there. Can we please conduct it with mutual respect and consideration please?
