Odds on favourite...
To start a thread congratulating Flt Lt Wales on his new born...
Coffmanstarter 5/2
Beagle 7/4
Courtneymil 15/1
Odds on the first person to reply "what's this got to do with Military Aviation"
sasless 11/8
we branch fantic 12/1 (with a bonus if the thread gets linked to the sea harrier)
wensleydale 15/1
Which ever happens the third post will mention that Wills is a military pilot.
Any way, best of luck to the Royal Couple. I look forward to the thread.

Tongue in cheek but it does have an element of truth. Difficult to compare a SAR pilot with a combat pilot but maybe we shouldn't try.

Ask the combat pilots if RAf/RN SAR pilots are less as military pilots than they are, and if you survive the experience you will have a different view.
SAR pilots are several levels above mere combat pilots, and have earned more respect from me than any of the combat pilots I have known and worked with.
You, however, have earned only disdain from me.

That's very true. I would certainly agree that combat aircrew don't put themselves in harms way as much as the Non-coms. Having had the experience of both roles I would agree that the combat pilots role tends to be more protected whilst the SAR guys are pretty much left to get on with it.
The problem with the UK SAR organisation is that it is pretty much a civilian organisation and will become more so in a few years.

Newt ...
Primogeniture has been sorted here in the UK ... but I understand only 3 of 15 Commonwealth Countries have ratified
We might need a small group of volunteers to undertake a few "Goodwill" visits to encourage alignment of thinking ... as the Navy doesn't have enough Gun Boats these days

Nice word Coff!! Primogeniture!!
All a load of hot air if the next in line is a boy!
And the Aristo's will ignore any change and just leave their estates to whoever they like!! Usually the first son!!

A boy would be easier all round.
