Well said Dual Ground.
As a retired Pongo with strong family RAF connections, I have been following this thread with mounting incredulity and, I must say, growing embarrassment. What an unedifying spectacle, to observe professional service aviators, most of them presumably officers, indulge in personal and very public slander of fellow officers. Shame on you. You dishonour yourselves and the profession.
A redeeming element in this sordid spat is the dignified, balanced and articulate replies from JN in response to the scurrilous, irrelevant (to this thread) and mean-minded attacks that were launched on his character and integrity. And for Roger Sofarover to tell him to “back down” and to describe his input as “incendiary” and “pompous” just leaves me speechless. Which, having expressed my disgust, I shall now be.
