"Sorry, Wensley D,

The Army Air Corps in 1944 comprised the Parachute Regt and Glider Pilot Regt, although it was a larger admin set up - it is strictly correct.

You will occasionally see reference to 'The Glider Pilot regt, Army Air Corps' or 'Parachute Regt .....'

However, this does not detract from the fact that Dimbleblunder is a useless presenter and should be put out to grass. There are frequently errors in what he says and those who listen to 'Any Questions' are also up in arms about them.

BTW Mrs CP thinks she knows the female pilot with medals galore, who led the RAF contingent at the Royal Albert hall last night. Is she a helio pilot (ex Army) called Penny G...... by any chance?"

The commentator was purely referring the the AAC as he said this. He was explaining who the folks in sky blue berets were. The glider pilots march in a separate formation of their own, and obviously wear a different head dress.

From (poor) memory he was commenting on 656 Sqn
