    Nicola Sturgeon to step down.

    ....yet!!

    Prepare for War....

    Perhaps all this talk about a potential future conflict is a good reason for NOT accommodating members of the Cross Channel Rubber Boat Club on airfields that would be needed to support operations? When the last Vulcan sqn disbanded at Scampton, AOC I Group said whatever the future for the...

    Ex Red going down.

    Watched it. First off, why did a female VSO (at the time Commandant of the very unit that is meant to teach leadership to officer cadets) allegedly ignore the approach by a very junior female officer seeking to address the problem? "Not in the Chain of Command" is a lamentable excuse and...

    Ex Red going down.

    Some years ago, the Australian Army Chief made a video about unacceptable behaviour in the Australian Forces and he made the comment that should anyone become aware of unacceptable behaviour , "the standard you walk past is the standard you accept". If true, it would appear that a RAF...

    Something I've been meaning to ask about being time-ex.

    I joined the local canal restoration society which gets me out of the house. It's good outdoor exercise and we have many on-going projects which keep the brain and the body active. I've also learned brick-laying, driving an excavator, boat driving as well as applying some of my trade...

    Raf Scampton and migrants

    High Court rules in favour of the Home Office. Scampton and Wethersfield cleared to become accommodation for illegal immigrants asylum seekers.

    What is the weather ...

    Roads were flooding as I drove home yesterday from my canal society's depot in the Vale of Belvoir. The fields are sodden with a lot, and I mean a lot, of surface water running off onto the roads, the roadside ditches are full and the canal itself was almost bursting its banks in places. At...

    What is the weather ...

    I guess there was no snow in London otherwise the BBC would be going into overdrive about the severe weather caused by a single snow flake on the M25.

    Ex Red going down.

    As I said, the plan included moving other elements of CFS along with its HQ to Scampton so they would not be the only flying unit on the station. The issue arose of conflicting flying programmes for the Reds and the rest of CFS as the Reds wanted to book the air space over the station for a...

    Ex Red going down.

    Nothing new in that report about the Red's attitude. They always considered themselves a cut above the rest. Prior to their move from Kemble, when AOC 1 Group announced at a briefing in the cinema at Scampton that the Reds were moving to the station , he said that one of the reasons for...

    Another Wigston hangover

    You would have thought that the Legal Branch, above all others, would have known what kind of actions and behaviour were within the law and and what wasn't.

    Mental health - it's not something new.

    Following on from the thread about the case of DCAS, Talk Wrench has asked me to start a separate thread about the impact MH has had on our own lives, and how it was dealt with. Being a humble ex-stacker, I know I haven't been immune from the effects of stress, anxiety and self-doubt. In my...

    DCAS AM Rich Maddison

    In the case I mentioned, the airman's FS had tried to get him taken of live-armed guard but couldn't convince those further up the chain that he was at risk. Quite what options the FS had, other than putting the him under close arrest, when further up the chain refused to take him off...

    DCAS AM Rich Maddison

    Tragically true. Our squadron lost a lad who none of his CoC , except his FS, wanted to get involved with his problem even though he cried for help. His FS had tried to warn the flt commander, sqn commander, guard commander, OC Admin; unfortunately, even the padre did not want to get...

    Grant Shapps appointed role of Defence Secretary.

    That's the Forces well and truly ( checks it's Currant Affairs).... neutered. Can't wait for a GE to clear out the dross that is the current government.

    SWO's....

    Brilliant SWO at Bawdsey. He didn't shout but when he spoke, you listened - he had a certain way with words. My everlasting memory of the man was when he was off duty one night and returning to Bawdsey after having had a few sherbets in the Ferry Boat Inn. The ferry came alongside the...

    ULEZ

    The arrogant little sh!t was on the tv news at lunchtime. His minder must have been missing as he couldn't string his words together to make anything like a coherent sentence. Despite his denials, it is all about making money and ripping off the public.

    Is Ukraine about to get messy?

    Falling from a window wasn't good enough for Prigozhin's ego - he had to fall out of the entire sky.

    Top Guns - Inside the RAF

    I'm almost surprised that the RAF PR people allowed that little snippet to be broadcast - hardly a positive comment. Mrs 4ma said she thought the training time used to be about 3 years when she were a WRAF.

    The Trial of Lucy Letby

    Stop the revolving door between NHS Trusts for failed managers/directors and ban them from future NHS work if they screw up. They have to learn (perhaps the hard way) that their screw-ups come with a personal cost for them.
