Neither had the guts to go & fly with their squadrons during the 1st Gulf war. They left it to the likes of me to do 24/7 shifts in the Laarbruch WOC as the Operations Officer to sort out anything & everything to do with notifying next of kin & sorting out the repatriation of JP & JN from Akrotiri - along with the British Press Corps.
Did you volunteer to go out to the Gulf and get turned down then Sam? If so I'm sorry to hear it.
