A man, who in other circumstances would be considered a credit to his country, has behaved badly He has been punished and his peers and superiors will no doubt also be in an uncomfortable position.
However, the situation is what it is and the RAF will continue to be the RAF. Talk of 'damage limitation' and worry about how the Army will view the RAF just legitimises the concern that there maybe something more to hide. Contrary to what may appear in the Daily Mail, the British public aren't stupid. They know that humans fail - there are plenty of examples at the moment in politics, banking and commerce - but they also realise that organisations overcome those failings and life goes on.
