Mr SASless, Sir
Ah, but Gadget...we did so in an honorable fashion I hope....really!
Of course. As I have said previously elsewhere on this forum, the time has come to climb off the fence.
I considerably outstrip kbf1 in years of service (although out of the mob now), and I am privileged to have spent much of my time working with colleagues from the US. I am pleased to say that I never found issue either with their professionalism or with their dedication to duty, although admittedly I did always have to train them to make a decent cup of tea.
The missile operators, as well as the Tornado aircrew and their families, are in my thoughts and prayers this evening. So are those myopic gits who think that they could have done better and won't do this tragedy the courtesy of waiting for the evidence.
Yours aye
Gadget
