Last week Defence Secretary Liam Fox looked on in shock as Kris told Mr Cameron, who was visiting his air base:
but his father, who earned the nickname "Mr Sea Harrier"
"Kris is a superlative pilot
The officer's father Nigel, a Falklands War legend, said: "Harrier pilots are devastated and feel let down by Chancellor George Osborne and the Prime Minister. After years of loyal service they face the scrapheap and are trying to work out how to support their families."

Last week Defence Secretary Liam Fox looked on in shock as Kris told Mr Cameron, who was visiting his air base:
Air base?
but his father, who earned the nickname "Mr Sea Harrier"
Really. I thought his nickname was Sharkey?
"Kris is a superlative pilot
Aren't they all? If so then perhaps he'll make a pilot of something else, in or outside the Service, or a good XO or CO of a war canoe.
