    SHOCKING EMAIL from RAF - This HAS to STOP!

    Here I discuss the forcing of diversity into the RAF and the problems associated with doing so after an appalling email surfaced asking Squadron bosses if they had any pilots who were 'not white men' to attend the Top Gun 2 premiere.

    British Army Sniper - Craig Harrison

    A chat with Craig Harrison, former British Army sniper and author of 'The Longest Kill'. In The Longest Kill, his unflinching autobiography, Craig catapults us into the heat of the action as he describes his active service in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, and gives heart-stopping accounts of his sniper ops as he fought for his life on the rooftops of Basra and the barren hills of Helmand province. Craig was blown up by an IED in Afghanistan and left battling severe PTSD. After his identity was revealed in the press he also had to cope with Al Qaeda threats against him and his family. For Craig, the price of heroism has been devastatingly high. - Taken from Craig's book, 'The Longest Kill'.

    Truth Bombs with Will Knowland, Former Eton College Master | The Patriarchy Paradox

    In this video I speak with Will Knowland, former Master at Eton College who was dismissed over a video he published called the Patriarchy Paradox. 'A view on patriarchy to provoke debate: 'if liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear' (George Orwell). Use it or lose it.'

    Simon Akam, author of 'The Changing of the Guard - the British Army Since 9/11'

    A revelatory, explosive new analysis of the British military today! Over the first two decades of the twenty-first century, Britain has changed enormously. During this time, the British Army fought two campaigns, in Iraq and Afghanistan, at considerable financial and human cost. Yet neither war achieved its objectives. This book questions why, and provides challenging but necessary answers. Award-winning journalist Simon Akam, who spent a year in the army when he was 18, returned a decade later to see how the institution had changed. His book examines the relevance of the armed forces today ― their social, economic, political, and cultural role. This is as much a book about Britain, and about the politics of failure, as it is about the military. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/fast-jet-performance. Hosted on Acast.

  8. The Problem with Military Flying Training in the UK

    The Problem with Military Flying Training in the UK

    This can only be described as an appalling situation in the UK Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) and very much in the public's interest. 72 Sqn flies the Texan T1 at RAF Valley, the same base that is home to 25 and IV Sqn (formerly IV Sqn) flying the Hawk T2. In 2012, I was a Flight Commander on IV Sqn which was going through an almost identical situation to that which is highlighted in this Defence Air Safety Occurrence Report (DASOR). I eventually managed to convince the boss to get an external Human Factors assessment done by the RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine (RAF CAM) who came and conducted an Operational Event Analysis (a close look at flight safety). This led to the cessation of all student flying until I could train up my instructors who, as in this report, were not getting the flying currency and qualifications they required and were suffering from significant stress in the workplace. So, when the RAF tells me that they have learnt the lessons of UKMFTS during this time, this DASOR suggests otherwise. Personally, I don't believe the RAF and nor do a high number of service personnel pan-defence who sent me the same report. It doesn't seem like 'people are your greatest asset', here but it does help to clarify the RAF's retention issues. Lastly, for the author of this DASOR (who I do not know and did not send this to me), from an old grey bomber pilot - if you are taking flak, it usually means you are bang on target. (I informed the RAF that I was publishing this DASOR. This report is a Defence Air Safety Occurrence Report (DASOR) delivered through the Aviation Safety Information Management System (ASIMS) which states that 'The proactive reporting of air safety concerns by personnel from across the defence air environment (DAE) is fundamental in maintaining continual awareness of the risks facing our people.' - www.gov.uk) Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/fast-jet-performance.
