Had to scroll all the way back into the third tier to find this thread again- probably a fair indication of how highly it rates on the current agenda.12 days will have passed since the last entry to mine. And that is entirely indicative of the level of interest in this air war, being carried out by real RAF aircrew under real threat. Amazing. It was front page news for days on end a few short weeks ago. Now it doesn't even rate on Prune. Chipmunks, Air cadets not in gliders and long forgotten piss ups rate far higher....Why is this?

The latest Govt. spin about it above in a linky. Thursday 17th of March the RAF were carrying out multiple attacks in Northern Iraq in what must have been a bit of a party for some, and yet it features absolutely nowhere on here (Prune).
Amazed still and a little dismayed. Not saying there should be a daily upbriefing on all combat carried out in our names, it just worries me that service actions, combat missions and our own peoples lives are now regarded in such a dismally low level of attention or scrutiny or give a ****.
