A nice thought, but, the majority of 'airships' at the top these days are wokka types with only a recent operational background in the North West Frontier!

The fall from grace of the Fast Jet jockey since we went back to the sandpit after '91 has been damaging top-end capability ever since we let a kipper mate in to run 11Gp.

I had a little chuckle to myself with that as well. In my 30 odd years in Her Majesty's Flying Club there have only been 2 non-FJ Chiefs, Sir Peter H and the current CAS. And of course the 'kipper mate' referred to, ran the amalgamated 11/18 Gp rather than just 11 Gp - sadly probably a reflection of the decline in power of HMFC!!
