No different to when RAF test pilots were flying US spyplanes over the Soviet Union in the late 1950's and early 1960's.

Not surprised, the fast jets have been scudding through our valley more frequently of late. Although how closely flying training missions in the Welsh hills mimics bombing a desert in the Middle East I'm not so sure.

The RAF are not bombing in Syria, the USAF is, and they have a couple of RAF pilots on loan.

If the USAF had had Leon Best on loan, Blackburn Rovers would not be blamed for bombs going wide of the target, would they?

:lolol:

Fair point, I clearly missed an extremely important quote in my own posted article!


"There have been a very small number of pilots embedded within force structures which are run by allies and they have been on limited deployments for a small duration."
"They are not engaged in UK military activity over Syria."

Pilots belonging to and being paid by the RAF took part in air raids. Irrespective of what they flew in, British Military are now involved and ironically, illegally aswell!
