And who can blame them on this occasion.

However there have been some entirely predictable remarks about the RAF Regiment on this forum, which I learned to take with a certain resignation when I was in the corps. However I would submit that this bloke is no more a typical RAF Regiment gunner than Bud Holland was a typical B52 pilot, or the guy who took a soldier's head off at South Cerney was a typical Hercules pilot. There are idiots in all trades and specialisations, and when it all goes wrong they have to accept the consequences of their actions

Roadster - I agree - five years is what I would have thought more appropriate.
TT Ex Rock!

Despite this I agree with you totally. Three years is far too short. Would this be Colchester or civilian prison? Also will he get time off for good behaviour? In which case 3 years is ridiculous. Why was the Judge an army officer not Royal Air Force?
