To say that all the RAF does is support the army is extremely ignorant and shows a deep misunderstanding on your behalf.
I didn't - but its beginning to look that way - please enlighten me if you know of anything else.
Thanks althenick, I needed a good laugh, top comedy!!!
I think unchecked thought that you were serious!!!!!!
Glad I could oblige Backwards, unfortunately I ain't kidding - I cannot now understand why the RAF is separate from it's prime customer. It takes nothing to do with maritime so why pretend to be anything else
If the RAF joins the Army it should surely be as a separate flying regiment.
That way we can have our own rules, regulations, uniforms, abbreviations, bases, ranks*, etc. Only problem is I don't think any shops near me sell red trousers.
*If the Cavalry can have Corporal of Horse we can stick with Flight Sergeants etc. I've no problem with the O's adopting Army ranks - it'll save explaining that Flight Lieutenant is the same as Captain - except PA Flt Lt, more like a Lt Col where it's important - at the bank..
Willard - well summed up
