I think most service personnel are fine with calls or letters home
A letter directly to Mark urban an from a named RAF sergeant isn't perhaps very wise. I assume the Air Force have a policy about writing directly to members of the media and this letter doesn't fit with that.
ISIS will have been very happy to hear the strength of available aircraft though!
I doubt they were overly bothered about the fact that ONE meal during one shift pattern wasn't hot though.

Look on the bright side though, if Typhoon 93 had asked how many fully capable aircraft were at Gib then all hell would have broken loose, with folks asking if he needed to know (walls have ears and all that)

Still, the idea of NO hot food is the main headline grabber here............and no one is asking how the curry and rice from the rat packs was heated !
Do we know if everyone on those shifts were eating cold food, if rat packs could be heated so could other food.
