One has to admit, however, Sharkey has been handed some hefty ammunition in this case. Although, what he's probably overlooked is that all three services do indeed take what they can when its on offer, like just about anyone I can think of in fact. Two of my nephews were serving with the Irish Guards on exercise in some part of Africa a few years back. The Battalion were put up in Hotels, of not inelegant grandeur, so I'm given to understand. The R.A.F. got the blame for the fact they had to be put up in hotels as well, the transport wasn't available to ferry them back the Brize Norton, because the crews hadn't had there allocated period of rest. Aint war Hell!
