So you navy types... is it true?

There is of course also another reason why aircrew and groundcrew are put in hotels; to ensure they get adequate rest to do a job where a fatigue induced mistake could easily be fatal.

Yeah, it's weird how Army and Navy aircrew seem to manage...

I spent many nights in cold wet ditches alongside Army Air Corp Ground and AirCrew that still managed very well...
Oh well.. As we used to say any fool can be cold and wet.

Different rules, regulations, circumstances, and somewhat different availability of accommodation too I suspect. I'm sure we'd be able to cope in 4/8/12 man rooms or tents and get the job done. Last time I checked joining the RAF didn't turn everyone into wet fishes!

Either way, if the other two services want to complain, they should've joined the boys in light blue from the start. As for the current conflict, the Army and Navy upper echelons must hate it, with the RAF getting the lion's share of the publicity from it.

Leave the poor movers alone. They can't help it. They get enough grief from those in their own service (including me last year, when my non Afghanistan bound bag with half my flying kit ended up in a crate going to Bastion!)!

Interesting story, although that photo is of RAF harriers at Cottesmore.

I flew there in Feb with the station commander of Northolt (rest in peice Tom) as we went to see Cottesmore's Station Commander, but they wouldn't let us in the hangar to have a nose about.

It could be worse though... is it true that RAF Police dog handlers are outranked by their canine oppo's?

The entire RAF Police are outranked and outwitted by the canine's
