Whilst I appreciate the sentiment you express, Typhoon93, your junior boots are still treading heavily in this Forum. Especially using the term "lads".

Take a week or two off, eh? You are not making a lot of friends here.

I agree with his sentiments, don't be so harsh on him.

Back to 31 Squadron.

Perhaps one of them (who may perchance read this) could put in the full (expurgated !) text of the Song ? I give you:

"Now we come for Demob - Spats 'n Bowler Hat,
Back to dear old Blighty - it's Goodbye to All That.
The bloomin' Yankees got the best.
The ruddy Conchies got the rest ! -

We're Right A-round the Corner,
We're Right A-round the Bend !"

MOD budget must be tight, making them all cram in to one Tornado to get back, worse than easy jet.

You are entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine. There is, however, no justification in being quite so offensive. Feel free to rotate upon it in a vertical axis, Sir.

Am I correct in assuming that all of our personnel (and combat equipment) are now out of Afghan, or will be leaving very, very shortly? Or is the answer to that classified?

LJ, I don't need to know, however, it would be nice to know that they are all out of that place, safe and sound, ready for Christmas to be with their families.......

Why are they in echelon-port (8:4) ? Couldn't the photographer fit them all in any other way ?

If it's nice to know, you don't need to know. This isn't a game.

PC garbage.

Lads = lads, lasses, transsexuals, gays, bi and whatever else you are. It's generic and I know what you meant.

PC Wedding speech guide books must have an annex on first lines to include all genders. War and peace??

Well said MPN!

Another stupid and ill thought out question from you T93. Do you watch the news? Do you know what's going on around you? If you watched the news over the last few days you will have seen Harry in Afghanistan. Did you notice all of those people around him wearing uniforms? So, the answer to the first part of your question is no, they are not all home yet. Now, do a little research yourself and you will find the answers to your other questions.

Surely there's a forum for Walts and Wannabe Space Cadets that's more suited to you and you're infantile enthusiasm

T93 - though you may often come across a little 'wet behind the ears', I for one don't doubt your sincerity until you prove otherwise.

So, ignore the pompous armchair Generals on here with those large pieces of 2 x 4 on their shoulders and crack on mate. It is, after all, a free and open forum where you are entitled to express opinion and ask questions relating to Military Aircrew.

Anyway, well done "The Goldstars" and a safe return home for some well-earned leave!

Agree 100% with MSOCS.
Such harsh put downs of new members, who are just showing a little enthusiasm, are not acceptable.

Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and inexperience.

Or so someone said!

T93

The Tornados might be back, but there are still RAF personnel in Afghanistan, in various NATO appointments and training missions. Yes, and well done for celebrating their safe return

Exactly where does that suggest that T93 is welcome?
