Sorry, chaps, but I think that you might be erroneously grouping me with the 'anti royals' brigade. My '' was in reference to flying an Apache being called 'riding the dragon'.

I personally think that some of the posters forget that the Armed Forces 'belong' to his granny and if he and his brother want to go off an become heli pilots, then good luck to them. If my granny was responsible for several hundred helicopters of all flavours, I'd certainly be asking for her help. But I am slightly bemused by one of the comments in the Scum. Apparently, one of the reason that Harry wants to be attached to the AAC is so that he doesn't act as a 'bullet magnet' for his comrades whilst out on patrol. But surely an Apache must be one of the most 'magnetic' things on the modern battlefield...?
