Problem is Impiger, neither the FAA nor AAC have any desire to fall in under the RAF and its way of doing business. Whilst I am sure both organisation hold RAF aircrew and engineers in very high regard, something happens to RAF officers once they reach Group Captain and above. They seem to have a brain implant which says "hate the FAA and AAC, they are out to shaft us so we had better shaft them first!" It starts at the top and all below follow like lambs.
