Search and Rescue pilot filling a post at “The Home Of The Fighter Pilot”. Now THAT is flagrantly breaking the rules!

Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Actually, I rather admire the Guards for sticking with their “archaic BS and ceremonial” whilst everyone else caves in to the latest fads and political fashions.

Ah, OK, that explains a lot. It’s an Intellectual Property thing. Actually, as a drama, I thought it was OK.

What is it with the cap badges and wings? Is it just ignorance or are they suggesting a different organisation to the RAF?

Thanks BB and YS. What bothers me about this particular piece of disinformation is that it is being put out on the RAF “official “ X account (and who knows where else) and may, one day, be taken as...

Maybe, but let’s not make this an inter service thing. Don’t forget that 617 is half RN so the people involved may well have been dark blue, as was the pilot.

Not comparing to Bomber Command but even in the 70s we were loosing 10-20 aircrew a year. I’m afraid there was a “we’re bound to loose a few” attitude in some places.

Thanks SLXO. The thing I find hard to explain now is how we (rear crew) all just accepted it. I don’t think I ever even heard it discussed.

No, I don’t think you are. The weapons were transferred off the combatant ships before the shooting began or before they arrived in the area.

Fascinating read indeed, but the authors have a point to make. Classing a Gannet crashing on the flight deck of a carrier as a “nuclear accident” is pushing things a bit.

That’s the profit motive for you! And remember these airframes spent quite some time sitting quietly near the end of runways loaded with something nasty.

I never quite understood it but RN Officers seemed to be trained from a very early age to hate the RAF. The feeling was not reciprocated as far as I remember.

I agree. I Was there and I object to the view that we were all cavemen in those days. In my view men treated women, we even called them ladies, with much more respect than is apparent today.
