There are two things IMHO the RAF has always been very bad at - computer programmes, policy and management - eg Innsworth computer lot would not let us use Sage for non-publics in the 80s (in case someone could get to the code and used it fraudulently - I ask you), and the other is manpower planning - at one time 18 month wait for AFT or OCU, in the 60s shortage of navs - how I ended up on 360! You would not think it was that difficult and similar sized civilian organisations manage, you would thing the RAF could.
