In further news the Royal Navy was understood to be very pleased with the high quality of the stewards that it recently gained after the disbandment of the Royal Air Force.
A RN spokesperson, Lt Cmdr Badminton-Squash, was quoted as saying "with this influx of high quality silver service staff from the Royal Air Force our ability to hold rapid reaction cocktail parties in ports somewhere sunny and safe will continue to be envied by other Navies around the world".
Elsewhere the British Army Air Corps were believed to be reaping the benefits that have come about with the transfer to the AAC of so many RAF pilots.
An unnamed source within the REME was quoted as saying "for so many years now our aircraft have been piloted by Officer Cadets or old fellows who smell of wee but the arrival of professional aviators from the RAF has been a revolution, with new abilities such as 'battlefield troop movement' being added to our core skills of delivering fast food and taxiing Generals about." He added, "I'm also quite looking forward to the techies we are gaining from the RAF showing us how to keep more than one Apache serviceable at a time, a task we've struggled with for many years".
