Oh,there was one about then, not a million miles away,when the entire senior management of one " self -licking lollipop " recce support unit was thankfully trashed and their "boss" consequently posted.
Unfortunately some continued on........although thankfully diluted among the rest of a generally vibrant and competent community .We had one of these oddities (ex-Nav),who didn't want to be in RAFG (having previously turned down Singapore!):and who, in front of Harrier aircrew, refused to identify NATO ground equipment on imagery " without consulting my reference manuals"
Oh Yes. Absolutely a great attitude for First Phase reporting from a highly stressed pilot, with snap decisions within a very few minutes from "bird in" to Int.Report out!
But not , as we were constantly reminded " how we used to do it at *****"
