Decent BBC article (For a change) RE In-theatre Airlift
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7158237.stm
Full stretch is one word for it 
Well done to all the lads out there, for doing, as per usual, a stirling and largely thankless job. Oh, and thanks to the BBC for a decent in-theatre report
The RAF has been working at full stretch to transport troops out of Afghanistan in time for Christmas, and bring their replacements along with supplies - with presents, letters and messages for troops spending the festive season away from loved ones.
The BBC travelled with the RAF via the vital air link between Britain and the men and women on the ground - from RAF Brize Norton to Helmand Province.

What a great article by J.C. He certainly tells it like it is in his own inimitable style.
Pity this article doesn't get wider publicity. I'm convinced the general public don't know or even care about the conditions our Forces are experiencing in 'stan.
Makes me very angry.
