Stellair makes a good point! As has been mentioned before, the origins of this thread seem to have been a bit supsect, but no matter - it's still interesting to discuss the wider issues. Have to say, it would indeed be fascinating to know what Trenchard would have made of it all. Still, you can't be certain. Look at Monty...
Just have to add (in case anyone hasn't had the misfortune to encounter this lunatic before) that
Brickhistory seems to have some sort of obession with me. Whenever I join a thread, he has to compulsively post a message telling everyone that I'm not a serving member of the armed forces and therefore (according to his logic) I'm not entitled to have a view. He doesn't seem to be bright enough to realise that nobody (apart from him) gives a toss who is in the military and who isn't, and that he's starting to sound a little like a stalker. Hope he hasn't got a room full of my photographs. Wierdo
