Gosh, this has all got terribly repetitive. Ignoring my earlier flippant comment, I never achieved my two wings as to be honest, I was a rather crap pilot. I got my nav brevet but despite that, I was stilled ticked-off that I never made it in the front. That was my personal feeling about myself and not in any way judgement of my fellow navs.
These guys have worked hard for their wings but they know they're not fully fledged members of the two-winged master race; their wings have a a blue laurel. So what if non-flyers mistake them as such - what difference does it make to any of you who decry their achievements? We're all on the same side; we all contribute in our own ways; forget the vitriol and just be bloody happy for once!
It's not as if the RAF is even a shadow of its heyday of the 80s and before after all!
