Doubtless you found GQ (along with The Sun, Loaded and Viz) in the light reading section of the crewroom. I doubt many will regard the comments of a couple of FAA pilots in a (albeit upmarket) lads' mag with too much gravity. Besides, after 'HMS Brilliant', has the RN got any dirty washing left to do in public? Do also bear in mind the remarkable abilty of the media to publish interviews that even the subjects often have difficulty recognising.
