Females can not march like men....

[Mr C Hinecap]

We certainly didn't have problems with female stride length as flight cadets at Cranditz 68-71

I take it that you were not one of the female flight cadets.
Very noble to say that you didn't have problems with their stride length.

Noblesse did not always Oblige

Old Bricks,

Quite early, it seems. I had three years commissioned service in war and twenty-three in peace, and wouldn't know a pine pole if I saw one.

And I escaped and evaded all manner of escape and evasion exercises, and all the other Babes in the Wood bright ideas, with the sole exception of G/Capt. Wallace's infamous Grins Hill Walk at Shawbury in the '60s (and managed to drop off the tail of the column on that early on).

Who remembers the "Ale and Dominoes" letter, which appeared in "Air Clues" (?) in the '50s, and probably did the writer's career no good at all ? (for it ran strictly counter to the Air Ministry's Mens Sana in Corpore Sano ideas at the time).

That's how you get to last till 92. Gentleman ? - matter of opinion !

Female flight cadets? If there had been any of them, Trenchard would have spiralled through the core of the earth in his coffin!

The ashes are buried in the RAF chapel at the east end of the Lady Chapel in Westminster Abbey. Still who knows, maybe he was ahead of his time.

One hopes, at least, that he was in a coffin before he became ashes?

Didn't bother to read the previous 6 pages then? Just ploughed in with a stupid comment, eh?
