Operational flying in GW1
ok sideways-scuttlers, enough with the inside jokes - what the score with this Wratten bloke, and someone refered to as 'the Scottish Officer'?
obviously, being Crabs i would expect them to be brash, ill-mannered, spineless, draped in man-made fibres and looking like security guards at Tesco's - but what is it that arrouses such, err.. 'passion' from Ppruners about these two in particular?

Chimp more like! I was in the theatre, at Dhahran; he was very late and then proceeded to give us a bollocking, which I thought was a tad unfair.

Pinkfin and threeputt, I was merely trying not get myself banned from these forums! Trust me, there is plenty more in my vocabulary, written and spoken, that could be brought to bear ...... but I had better not! 
but can anyone with first hand knowledge of the process tell me what chance there is of a successful Freedom Of Information request for the full confidential Combat Loss Reports from GW1. Specifically the full individual reports, not the highly-edited summary that appeared at Sqn level.

"The Scottish Officer"
Thanks Cokecan; I thought the nightmares had stopped. 
Now they come flooding back.
Ignoring the generalisation about crab officers, the RAF, like any other outfit, has had and will have people who get to very senior positions despite the hinderance of a charisma bypass and other qualities that do not enhance their popularity, despite the perception in higher cirlces that they get the job done and are fit for command.
'He', was one of them. With the other guy, that's altogther another 4 beer convo...
That is all.

Didn't,
so the normal thruster/throbber thing, or a deeper, wider 'utter cock' personality that leaves a bad smell over everything it touches?
