Group Captain Jock Heron RAF (Retd) offers some personal reflections on the inner workings of the UK military machine from a time when the MoD was first formed by the amalgamation of separate Navy, Army and RAF departments. He flew the English Electric Lightning in the 1960s and later served on the development team for MRCA that flew in 1974 and evolved as the variable-sweep 'swing wing' Tornado.
