I am new to pprune and was looking through the many threads and this one struck a chord with some letters I have seen in the Daily Telegraph over the past few days. What is happening with the Harrier Force and did a Chief resign? I would have thought something would be in the press by now if they had.
When Chiefs threaten to resign there is usually someone behind them stiffening their resolve (they won't do it unless they are being told "its all or nothing boss") - presumably it is their Assistant Chiefs, or is Stirrup the quiet stirrer?
