Except that we have no 'troops in contact" in country and no deployed presence of thousands of ground troops in place. So no chance of a replay of the RMP debacle.

Except in Syria where two British special forces were recently badly injured.

As a slight tangent, is it me or is the new colour scheme very similar to the old "anti flash white"?

Same colour scheme, overall camouflage grey. Low visibility roundels and no squadron markings.

Great news, although I am slightly disappointed that so few Brimstones are now being used...... looks like there can't be that many left to kill. ;) Either that or they have all buggered off to Turkey for some down time...
