If you've detected no unease and negativity about PC's Rafale piece, Spruce, then you really do need to get out more.
It was certainly a massive 'scoop' (is that rhyming slang for p**p?) - and it was a real coup for Dassault to get a magazine of Flight's reputation publishing quite such a breathlessly enthusiastic and sensationalist piece of what read like advertorial.
As to RAF pilots 'supposedly' flying Rafale - weren't you at Dubai? Didn't you meet one of them there?
Rest assured, I'm sure someone will publish something more intelligent and more considered on the subject.
They may even get an award for it!
