The airbridge..fixed, working and getting everybody in and out. Tired kit? Yes but without it the good work gets much harder.
Imagine getting up in the morning, saying goodbye to your wife and children, flying into a war zone, putting on your body armour and landing in a threat environment. Get some sleep and hope you don't get rocketed. Fly home and say hi to your wife and kids again. Week in and week out for years.
Now lets talk about the aeromedical evacuation guys
..
The RAF Regiment and RAF Police, hard work to keep us all safe
The ISTAR guys ('nuff said been there for ages)
The Harrier and Tornado force
The Joint Helicopter Force, all services, with well-earned DFC's
Air Traffickers, Medics, Loggies, Engineers, rat-catchers and on and on
.
Without all this, more people will pay with their lives and limbs.
Take pride. The RAF..Doing so much, for so many, with so little.
Hats off lads. Hats off
