Sasless,
Why is it that when the RAF do a bit of positive
pr, the bell goes off on the prune outrage bus? I seem to recall that when hms Cumberland went in, she had to make an unscheduled stop in Crete to uplift some 'stores'. The stores included a full complement of camera crews and hacks to cover the evacuation. Good
pr for the services gets us more into the public eye, gets us more of the budget (or less cuts) etc.
If this goes on like I think it will, the rebels will be knocking on the colnels door inside a few weeks, thanks to air power.
