Olympic Union Flag raising - RAF out of step

[Shack37]

I guess we must also remember the RAF is largely not a military organisation, and so accept they cannot do the very basic stuff that the other services can do without even thinking about. Maybe I'm just jelaous because I was a 'green eyed boy' and served my country well, rather than be able to say I raised money for charity (I wasn't a charity worker, or that I did a lot of sports (I did do that but was a serviceman first). I realise those comments were in defence of the wrong man, but sums up the possibly poor priorities of some of the light blue gang.

All hail Barnstormer the Grown-up Warrior, I am neither too young nor too precious for banter so I salute you for your modest and self effacing post. May the world eventually recognise you for what you believe yourself to be.
