Royal Wedding RAF component
Did anyone spot the out of step RAF or RAF Regiment personnel marching immediately after the Royal Marine contingent in the military parade after the Church service ?
Seemed the worst possible time for a misstep as it was caught by the BBC cameras
Another example of defence cuts hitting hard ?

The clever one is inside a hangar for the wet weather occasion, with the drumbeat echoing!
Ahhh thank gawd I do not ever have to do that again..... my next parade I should hopefully be horizontal and heading to the pie heater.
Glad the wedding went off OK, though I haven't and do not intend to watch any of it.

i am not point scoring . I am commenting on the sad fact that the RAF squad made a faux pas on a very public occasion in front of millions of people.
As yes but how many of the millions would have noticed, or be arssed about it
Those watching, not I, only had eyes for the 'happy couple',and the Bishop and the gospel group
But the E Type.... that's a different story
British engineering etc wowser.... hope the battery was British?

Yawn.. Old duffers shouting their mouths off as usual. The RAF conitigent looks very much like it was a rent a crowd fro local London Units. Propably with little training together. Thats the way of things now. Peopel have forgotten that Prior Planning and Preperation Prevents Poor Performance. The accountants certainly have.

Very many years ago at CCF camp at Tern Hill the contingent would take its place on the Saturday morning station parade. I was right. All was well until the march past , led unusually by the station commander, but my memory may have dimmed. What no one told us cadets was that parade commander had a wooden leg - name was ISTR Coward or B'stard. It matters not. However, due to said affliction the parade commander had an odd gait, with which station personnel were familiar. We, however, were not, and by the time we finished the marching was all over the place. I have seldom been so embarrassed, our officers were not pleased and the SWO was incandescent, and we had several hours extra drill.
