		But the planned RAF air cover for Suffolk's audacious offensive failed, and she was exposed to a six-hour response from German dive bombers.

	House of Commons - Defence - Thirteenth Report
		During our visit to the Gulf, RAF personnel told us that it was made very clear to them that, in undertaking missions, the key priority was for air-crew to return safely: no target was worth risking their lives for.
		Many of the RAF personnel whom we met in the Gulf were on their second or third rotation and some pilots expressed to us their concern that they risked suffering 'skill fade'.
		No offensive operations are conducted by UK forces in the northern no-fly zone and there is therefore no targeting policy there.

	Academy 1/72 Sopwith Camel F.1
		Only one is provided, for a somewhat colourful late war Camel of B Flight, No. 10 Squadron RAF, which was formed from an RNAS squadron in mid 1918.
		(Note, the academy instructions incorrectly say that No 10 Squadron was a "Royal Navy" squadron, but I think that's just lack of expertise in English).
		There is no flash, and surface detail is very good indeed.

		W/O Marsh was awarded an overseas flight to Cyprus in June in a VC-10 from No. 10 Squadron at RAF BRIZE NORTON.
		There is no doubt of the ability or skill possessed by the players, but on some occasions the temperament and commitment had been lacking.
		The Army section was the only one to field a complete team; indeed it was so complete that three Army cadets had to join the RN and RAF sections for the weekend.
