Putting The R Into RAF

I always said that Prince William's service with RAF Search and Rescue would go some way to seeing off the neoconservative scheme to abolish the RAF within a single EU defence "capability" under overall American command and run by the Germans, although that role might now have passed to the French in these days of Sarkozy.

It seems that HRH has already started. Good for him. And good for us.

"You can't privatise Royal Air Force Search and Rescue. It's Royal." As someone once said, but about the Royal Mail. That someone was Margaret Thatcher.

  1. Shouldn't that read, "Putting the 'Rah' into RAF"?
