Part of the job they've chosen to do, though.God I'd hate to be the fighter pilot who had to obey that order.
Oh aye, but that's not going to make downing an airliner full of people easier to live with.

Doubt they ever expect to do it though

I'd imagine that they'd be left in little doubt about what they might have to do. Remember these folk are doing the same job as the IDF F16 pilots who send missiles into Gaza's residential areas.

Yeah, but they're not Brits

Well they probably don't think so. They probably think it's all foreigners over there

Unless he turns out to be some diplomat or similar (or maybe he's got enough money to pay his way out of any conviction)
Is it possible to hijack your own trial for hijacking?

A lot more easy to live with than pressing the button on a Trident sub I suppose. It probably helps being a psychopath in that sort of job.

They choose Milton Keynes because it would improve the place.

By the time you've reached the stage of flying live QRA scrambles on an AD squadron you will have had 6-8 years of intense psychological conditioning in, what the air force coyly describes as, 'scenario fulfilment'. You'd ripple the slammers into its fat white belly without batting an eye.

Yes, I'm sure that's right; these people merely follow the orders they are given.
Didn't know what QRA meant. Found this interesting article. Yeah it is the DM but there you are.

My favourite Frank Sidebottom joke is a throwaway line when he was on Kazuko's Karaoke Klub where he sez "Monopoly's a stupid game because who goes to London in a dog?"

Maybe he wasn't trying to hoax but thought he saw something and got it and his response very wrong...

Well, that's a very generous way of looking at it. Hope you're right.

Did I hear correctly that he's been sectioned?
Eta yeah, I did.

In my experience if you tell a member of the UK military to down something they'll just try and drink it as quickly as possible.
