I am ex-TG3 (9 yrs) and a 125hr PPL and even I know the difference between a RIS and a RAS.
Why did this get as far as a CM? I left the RAF because of those attitudes.
It is nice, however, to see the warmth and breadth of support from the RAF family and the flying fraternity that have posted here. This is the reason I sometimes regret leaving....
I have never met spot but he and his family have my best wishes and hopes for a correct outcome.
