Fox, yes, the threat on day one in GWI was obviously quite different. A fully functional air defence setup and I guess the need for Opsec was much higher.
The pilot's name issue, and photos, is something the RAF has been pushing forward. The
PR opportnity for the home-boy story was being lost with all the operational anonimity of GW1.
I guess the answer now is you want the publicity so that the enemy can't disappear you.
