I edited the above post so that the link works. Thanks for letting me know.
The linked magazine talks about corporate experience and the run up to the new carriers. Actually that is painful to read now. However, it does make they point that they (RNR WAFUs) are useful, and indeed can be safely entrusted with aircraft, and fill flying and other billets. The Army used to have an AAC unit (7 Regt(V) - Gazelles) that employed TA (ex regular) pilots.
Reservists can do things - it is what we are here for.
Meanwhile - a quick look at the
Telegraph website shows this story:
Royal Navy's Falklands ship turned away by Brazil
Spot the obvious mistake! Anyway, Argentine Super Étendard continue to embark on
Sao Paulo (ex
Foch). Argentina seems to be upping the ante - what message did the SDSR send them?
