How to Turn Off a Mobile Phone - Lesson 1
At least he was on TV, ORAC, trying to win public support for the troops! Has Torpy finally crept away yet? Will he sign on at the labour, or go straight to his sinecure job at BAE? The RAF has had some pretty useless CAS's in its time, but he must be at least in the running as the most ineffective ever. I'd rather have a gruff old beast like Jackson, who seemed to view his mobile as he would have done a primed grenade and disposed of it in the same way, than "a pilot's pilot" who has been a disaster for the SH and AT guys!

I had the pleasure of giving Sir Mike the tour of our first C-17 on the day we arrived in the UK. He was very attentive and interested in the new capability available to him, even asking when we would be able to use it to drop troops. Completely different to the way Geoff Hoon conducted himself. Whilst explaining the capability to him he just ignored me, too busy trying to hobnob with the senior officers. Obviously a Sgt was below the level he wished to communicate with.
There are very few senior officers who are more concerned about the troops than their own career but Sir Mike certainly seemed to be one of them.
