Yes Sir!!!!!!!!! Oooh geehovah you are so butch and masterful.


Watching a documentary, recently, about one of our more inspirational politicians and leaders, Winston Churchill, in which it was said that his proud boast was that he, had “never visited a shop”. If a man born in a palace and into the aristocracy could capture the hearts of the masses and convinced them to suffer and die for their country...
I wondered just how important it is for Air Officers to be men/women of the ordinary Officer or Airman/Woman. Some of the current Whitehall lot get accused of being 'toffs' - with the implication that this means they are out of touch with reality - but which is more important? That they have good leadership qualities and have the courage to take tough, even unpopular decisions ... or that they 'feel our pain', empathise more than impose, and are nothing much out of the ordinary?
