He makes some valid comments about the serviceability issues that the RAF has suffered with the Airbridge and the knock on effect that has. Unfortunately, he was being interviewed in his capacity as the Chief Executive of a registered charity that
exists to boost the morale of British servicemen and women - principally on operations but all over the world - primarily through top quality entertainment with big name stars. The shows, and the Charity's other projects, convey the gratitude of the British public for the work of the Armed Forces and the sacrifices they make.
Pretty sure it's not a platform for him to bump his gums about inter-service agendas he may have. If his charity exists to "boost morale of British servicemen and women" then what is he doing announcing that, notwithstanding everyone in the RAF being splendid chaps, their output and performance on ops is, er, ****e? Doesn't bother me frankly but what about some keen young type listening to his local radio station and hearing a Forces charity chap announce that actually, the job he's doing is crap and that he's an embarrassment and hindrance to the rest of the UK military?
He's entitled to his opinions but I'd suggest that there are some he would be advised to keep to the Long Bar of the In and Out instead of being aired on BBC radio in his capacity as a charity Chief Exec.
