He was 'involved' by the then CAS, Graydon, 'informing' him that two 'grossly negligent' pilots of the Mull chinook were 'miles off course'. Apart from anything else it shines a light into...

You have expressed these sentiments before, atg, so I suspect we shall simply go on navigating around the same old buoy to little or no effect. Let's just agree that to win wars you have to train...

If this scandal started and stopped with ACM Wigston it would be of some comfort. Sadly it didn't. It is what happens to any military after prolonged periods of peace, by which I mean without major...

Indeed, ATG. The elephant in the room that the Committee declined to comment upon, except in passing. It would be better if the 'Chief's' aspiration was to return UK military airfleets to...

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...

An utter waste of time, I'm afraid. More years ago than I care to remember, I was told that it was my duty to refuse to obey all illegal orders, and to report them to a senior...

An interesting take, JTO. Your mention of OC, as against CO, says it all. To my mind, the only real commanders in the RAF command people in Squadrons, Wings, and Stations. Those outside the Station...

I hope that she resigned in protest at being given an illegal order. In which case she was right to refuse to obey it. That shouldn't mean that she should resign though. Rather those who originated...

I have to agree with you, dervish. Other than blighting a Gp Capt's career, there has been little apparent damage done by this ill-thought-out and illegal policy by an ill-thinking CAS. I say...

Well said, Mortmeister! The RAF was on show today and did itself great credit. I filled with pride to see the way they bore Her Majesty onto and off her final flight. Well done QCS (the Colour...

I would agree that Sir Sandy Wilson was stitched up but not that it was by SoS Malcolm Rifkind, who was also misled by the RAF High Command over the Mull of Kintyre pilots. You have to ask yourself...
