Bearing in mind that the Naval Strike Wing only returned from theatre in December 2008 - and there were RN personnel serving with 1(F) at that time I found that particular piece from the Telegraph abhorrent.
On top of that the desert flying coverall and the carefully posed photograph that just crops the Harriers to the left were just finishing touches.
Obviously he redeemed himself somewhat with the pure slapstick genius of multi role Typhoon and scared cows. What a cheese.
I remember watching this particular idiot on a programme about the Nimrod crash in theatre when he came across as some bloke who had been walking past in No 1s by pure chance when he bumped into a camera crew.
Sorry about the emotive language team - but someone so evidently far from Joint winds me up. We never witnessed anything of the sort by a CO/OC JHC when his boys and girls of any cloth were at war.
