I have a suspicion that he's referring to reports of discontent amongst Tornado crews that appeared in a tabloid at the time.
Unfortunately for his argument, the report (which wasn't exactly accurate, IIRC), referred to the F3.
The word has been used in relation to a dispute between CTTO and squadron execs and/or QWIs over tactics after the move from low-level (CTTO were invited to do something anatomically awkward, AIUI) by a now-retired 2* who was a flight commander at the time, but the word was employed with a degree of hyperbole obvious to his audience; I don't think that this is the source Cdr Ward refers to, though.
That said, I'm never quite sure of the sources he refers to, since they appear to be hard-to-find ones which don't agree with any of the other sources out there...
