Oh FFS - the point I was making was the Army just see our lot as a bus service to their war and we're the awkward inconvenience they have to negotiate to get there. I'm not sure if gnd is having a go at me for some sort of superiority complex, but if so the point is lost as that's nowhere even close to the message I was writing.
A little more 'same boat' mentality would not go amiss from 'green', as well as an attempt to understand that one big white/grey plane can't necessarily do the same as the one next to it - I've heard a comparison to Landrovers mentioned before.
Hey, I know we're all in it together - sans paddle.
