What do fellow PPruners think is the best remedy? Make him serve in 'today's' Air Force? |

Anyone with some spare time should have a chat with a copper for suspiscion of fraud through false representation with respect to the Fraud Act 2006:
2Fraud by false representation (1)A person is in breach of this section if he— (a)dishonestly makes a false representation, and (b)intends, by making the representation— (i)to make a gain for himself or another, or (ii)to cause loss to another or to expose another to a risk of loss. (2)A representation is false if— (a)it is untrue or misleading, and (b)the person making it knows that it is, or might be, untrue or misleading. (3)“Representation” means any representation as to fact or law, including a representation as to the state of mind of— (a)the person making the representation, or (b)any other person. (4)A representation may be express or implied. (5)For the purposes of this section a representation may be regarded as made if it (or anything implying it) is submitted in any form to any system or device designed to receive, convey or respond to communications (with or without human intervention). |
I was always told the Crewman's part of SARTU was the hardest course in the RAF Hat. Check. Coat. Check. Taxi...... |
Quote: I was always told the Crewman's part of SARTU was the hardest course in the RAF Come on Dengue_Dude - you know the hardest course is actually the RAF Cooks Course. After all, no bu88er has ever passed it. Hat. Check. Coat. Check. Taxi...... |
... and the hardest part of the course was walking across the car park on day one. If the QHCI's didn't like the look of you then your rail warrant would be ready for you at lunchtime (allegedly!).

.... Been there - done that!

I emailed Mr Day at the Essex bushcraft school with a link to this thread and an invitation to comment. I received the following reply today;
Hi Jon, I have no idea what, if anything Mr Day is going to say or do in regards to this. I am in no way going to defend his actions as to all appearances, he has misled not only me, but the also the man who highly recommended him to me, who was a man that I served with and therefore trusted. Mr Day has been relieved of all duties and responsibilities and no longer has a role within Wildcrafts, all references to him will be removed as soon as is possible to do so. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any offence that his actions may have caused, and would ask that you kindly pass on my apologies to the members of your forum, which not being SAR/ Aircrew member, I have no access to. Yours Les Davidson Senior Instructor WILDCRAFTS BUSHCRAFT SCHOOL |
Oops. Not funny, is it.
Perhaps this guy was a good instructor - rather than resting on his rather tenuous Service connections - he should have relied on his ability. Although still serving, I have long learned that very few people outside the Services give a damn about one's service background - and to use it as a crutch after leaving the Services is, well, a sign of insecurity. AVM the Hon Archie Bigglesworth VC DSO DFC* (Retd) Available to lecture on every conceivable Service-related subject. |
And,indeed, he has disappeared from their website. Goodness!
|
'He might have been a very good instructor'. Yep he might have, but do it in his own name and not try to cream any hard-earned kudos from someone else's effort.
The guys I mentioned earlier were all characters, but the kudos they earned is theirs, not for some Walt to mug. Good riddance (forgiving soul ain't I?) |
Didn't Bear Grylls leave 21 because of a broken back?

Good
He should count himself lucky that he's not sitting on a fraud charge. People like him make me sick to the stomach. I thank the head of the establishment for being honourable and for doing the right thing as a Service Veteran himself. LJ |
Though perhaps a tad hasty as he has not heard from the other side yet?
|
Lots of SAR Boys (or Girls) have commented on this newspaper (the Harwich & Manningtree Standard) website saying that they have never heard of him. Also, they ask the newspaper to run expose on him and others that find it neccesary to de-fraud the general public by stating they are something that they obviously aren't.

Glad to see a responder has pointed out that the company involved has responded so well, after all he too has had the wool pulled over his eyes too.

Beware the law of unintended consequences...
Dear Jon, thank you for posting my reply to your email on your forum. In light of what has happened, and after reading the posts on this forum, I have taken the hard decision to close down after my last confirmed bookings at the end of April. Unfortunately in the small bushcraft community that I am a member of something like this is more than enough to finish off 14 odd Years of hard work. Best regards Les Davidson |
