From a mere civilian's point of view:
WELL DONE RAF! I'm in a bit of a hurry at the moment but when I get a chance will post a suitable comment elsewhere. in the meantime a short tale. My dad learned to fly in Tiger Moths with the RAF, going on to fly other aircraft including Yorks. Sitting at Jandakot one day with mum, looking out at the aircraft, she saw their Tiger Moth. Mum: "Do you think that belongs to the RAF?" Me: "No, not now but maybe originally" Mum: "You know your dad never took me flying, you would have thought he might have done." Me: "Well it was different then, they were not allowed to." Dad was in the RAF during and just after WW2. As you can see mum would haved loved to have been flown by him and would agree wholeheartedly that the children should have had their flight. It's good to see the RAF doing this. PLEASE keep it up.
