Re: RAF 'pauses job offers for white men' to meet 'impossible' diversity targets

Tick the box was obvious in the mid eighties to me at Bruggen. Didn't appear to
be a case of he's/she's better at the job then.
Standards dropped and it would appear no-one really cared as it was more than
a jobs worth to speak up.

Re: Military bone yards in UK

Every Raf Station is a Bone Yard. I served 18 years, and it's all down hill. Lossie is 6 miles from me. Four or six movements a day, if your lucky. Stop living in the past, and realize the reality.

Re: the elgin buccaneer

He was involved on the day. Those sort of details would not have been
available as you say. Was one of my aircraft and it's sad to not see it every day
as I go out for a walk.
