S-D, perhaps it's best you and I avoid each other like the plague, as we aren't going to get along.
There is nothing wrong with a bit of arrogance when it's justified. Yours is not.
For what it's worth, I haven't seen a military aircraft that wasn't flying over wherever I was at the time, while on a routine sortie, for quite some time. That quite some time being nearly a decade. So I am not a "spotter".
If you class a "wannabe" as just somebody who aspires to do/be something, then yes, I guess I am. However, unlike most 'wannabes', I am actually getting off my ar$e.
Anyway, enough of that. Let's get back to the subject, which I believe is about the RAF being on its knees.
