I accept that some time ago I did mention Duncan Sandy's quite often mentioned gaffe, when as Secretary of State he predicted the RAF would no longer need pilots,
Seven days ago to be precise, and wasn't that quote about aerial warfare and rockets? Rockets, fire and forget rockets, that are used off the rails of both manned & unmanned aircraft today!
Was it really such a gaffe considering the modern day increase of drones on the battlefield, or just a bad example to bring up?
