Can Wigston survive the onslaught?
What is it about the 'modern' RAF, atg, that is not to like? Is it perhaps the issue of an illegal order dismissed as, "challenged and never implemented", by the CAS? Is it perhaps a cynical adulteration of an effective RN selection algorithm so that only BAME and Female applicants can succeed? Is it the forced resignation of a Group Captain for doing her duty? If so, then label me as not liking the 'modern' RAF either!
im not in the RAF, but am serving, and my view of the RAF is that in some places it’s really good, and in others it’s dreadful. Which applies to my own service and the others as well.
it’s more the ckickbait nature of his channel, and the classic exaggerate/repeat style of a monetised stream.

There are some slippery fish high up. A demonstration of ownership and accountability is what's needed, and all of this has a chance of going away (post-settlements maybe...).

Just my opinion, of course.
I was chatting to an old mate whom has just left the service having reached quite high up the grape vine. He was very clear on the clangers the CAS had made and the ramifications as he saw due to them. I couldn't disagree with his logic.
OMG! 🫢.
Reading through this, it looks like a Flt Lt was responsible!…….The boundah, how dare he?
See…….The VSOs had nothing to do with it. Probably be put down to a sort of administrative ‘pilot error’ I suppose.
Might be KC3’s first opportunity to say “Orf with his head”?

Regarding Deborah Haynes' last comment in that video, the simple answer is - NOBODY. Expect lots of trite statements about 'lessons being learnt' etc. etc from the RAF hierarchy, but no action whatsoever. The fact that it happened on Wigston's watch should be enough for him to do the honourable thing and resign, but don't hold your breath. The car crash that was his interview with Kay Burley should have been enough for him to go, but he didn't. The only person that can hold their head high in all of this is the recently departed Gp Capt who had the integrity to stand up to an illegal order and resign her position.

If I was Defence Minister I would tell CAS to rehire the Group Captain who showed some spine, promote her to Air Commodore and put her back in charge of recruiting. I would then fire the CAS.
That would send a message to the RAF top brass.
However that will never happen because politicians will never reward honourable behaviour in the armed forces.
The whole sad charade reminds me of the old management maxim
First rate leaders hire first rate assistants, second rate leaders hire third rate assistants.
A guy like Wigston at the top is what happens when every step up through the senior ranks was a result of sucking up to second rate leaders.

Keep on digging Sky, there is more to find, I’m sure.
Like, how do you get an “all female dais” at a RAFC Cranwell Graduation without actively turning away the males that are on the staff at the College?

I used this in a briefing to a senior bod not that long ago. Back came the rebuttal that ‘going forward we won’t be using ‘learned’ as it implies measures had been taken to stop it happening again’. Wow….
