Grob,
Good spot old boy! and shame on the MOD.
But what did you expect ? You don't think for one minute that the MOD have got any idea who and what are currently out in the Gulf, do you??
As T Handle points out, the MOD only talk about the 'fast pointy ones' that are there, ie Tornado, Harrier blah. Yes we do see the occasional shot of a Chinook, but they are very few an far between. I regret that this is the way of todays RAF. If its NOT FJ then it's not worth reporting on, how sad.
What about the Nimrod boys and the E-3's? What about the truckies, the tankers and the helo's.
Come on MOD, all of this 'incorrect' propoganda for the British public will only impress those who know very little or nothing at all. Lets start painting a more accurate picture, and give those in a less of a 'Top Gun' role a bit of glory - they deserve it too
To all aircrew and groundcrew serving us in the desert, but especially to those who barely get a mention, 'well done to you all, and God Speed'
Rant over
Regards
