” The business of the Air Force is to fly desks and fight for Facebook likes. The business of those who don’t is to tweet for those who do” |
Air power is most effective in a joint action with other military services such as the British Army and Royal Navy, and with government departments, all working towards a common national goal. We call this a full spectrum approach. ............... |
I remember "close enough for government work". But you had to have a boss with a sense humour!

Sound advice

When he completed the five year course, his foreman called him in for 'a word'.
