As usual some of the comments are pretty bitter towards the RAF from former army/navy types, I did not realise that the RAF was the only service playing sport, how lucky we are
I was involved in an expensive sport (sailing) for a number of years, and the Army was notorious for their Black Economy. The various regimental yachts in Gosport and other places, seemingly, had full-time cox'ns - generally a SNCO who lived upon the boat and maintained it full time, with much of the equipment purchased at public expense. And let's not get into the ethics of the recruitment of Fijians principally to bolster the Regimental Rugby Football teams.
