Whilst agreeing in general with minigundioplomat I am sure that when the chips (no pun) are down the Tornado guys/girls would respond in exactly the same way as their colleagues in the Chinook fleet. What we are talking about here is a Main Operating Base that has been in existence for god knows how many years. Akrotiri is hosting a small detachment of Tornadoes engaged in operations, the whole station should be focused on supporting these people and making their job as easy as possible. Regrettably over the years Akrotiri has acquired a reputation of treating transients and detachments as an inconvenience, to be tolerated, as they will soon go away. Perhaps Air command should consider detaching MCSU (or their modern equivalent) in support of the Tornadoes if Akrotiri cant cope. Then we would probably be getting letters from "disgruntled of Akrotiri" complaining about the high standard of food the MCSU are dishing out whilst the permanent residents are eating crap.
