Are you seriously trying to suggest there is less risk in flying a dayglo C130 into Libya uninvited?
You are very out of touch - keep up at the back...


Would anyone care to speculate as to why, in this case, the commercial world did not step up straight away...i fail to believe that the RAF beat them to it!
Err - we were flying into Libya before you to evacuate people, paid for by responsible companies who look after their employees properly. Unfortunately some companies chose not to pay commercial rates to evacuate their people, and left them to bleat on Sky that their toilets were blocked, that there were "people with AK45s" (sic), and they were "abandoned by HMG", which is about where you guys caught up and took away our business...

A commercially aware branch of 2 Group, with suitably qualified aircrrew and suitable aircraft could have done a superb job in the current situation - as it stands it is all a bit flakey.
