Did you find the same thing in the airforce? Did you find it hard at first? Did you have much contact with other Allied aircrew?

Kev,
I rarely had contact with other allied airmen. Our problem in the Med theater during my tour, was to get replacement planes and personell,
everything was going to grioups in the UK
