- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ย. 2022
- In this video I cover losing a job, my recent car accident, why pilots go to China, which morally I don't agree with and the Red Arrows boss, Wing Commander Dave Montenegro, being suspended for alledged innapropriate behaviour.

They frowned on your videos Tim, because you are a proud RAF pilot (retired) and still a fighter for traditions and values of the service. It can sometimes feel lonely when you are fighting the good fight but you're not alone. I often get told, that the world is not fair, but it's not fair because we allow it to be that way. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you, NZCraigNZ
I stand shoulder to shoulder with you Tim. Don’t stop speaking the truth. Cheers Roger.
Thank you, Roger.
So sorry to hear about your accident Tim. Glad to see you are ok now.
You're 100% right in highlighting issues in the RAF as anyone who knows of wrong-doing, and remains silent or brushes it under the carpet is just as guilty as the perpetrators! Also, a company that lets you go for just speaking truths, standing up for justice and reporting facts, is not a company worth giving your time to or even being associated with ... totally their loss Tim!
My daughter is in the Royal Australian Air Force. When she had the rank of corporal, she worked in direct contact with the flying crews of one of the squadrons and ended up in a relationship with one of the pilots. Before that, one of her best female friends was a Squadron Leader at the same base. They even went away on holiday together. I was a little surprised at the apparent absence of the old 'no fraternisation' rules that applied to relationships between officers and enlisted personnel.
When I was younger, I worked at FW Woolworths in Norwich and fraternisation with female staff was a dismissible offence!
The RAAF is a lot more relaxed about this nowadays - it really only becomes an issue if one is in a relationship wihtin on's direct reporting chain, and even then, a declaration of the relationship is usually all that's required to ensure objectivity in performance reporting (i.e. someone else outside the relationship does the performance appraisals). Speaking from 37 years experience in the RAAF.

Thank you, Jason - that is of great help to people, much appreciated.
Full career ex-RAF techie, out now for 8 yrs & really enjoy your content & truth bombs Tim. Very true about HF & crunching cars; did it myself sideways into a tree and a wall in my dad's car after I'd spent a weekend valeting & machine-polishing it, ready to impress him when I picked up my folks from their cruise. Gutted.
A quote from my Regt w/o said in an non related incident
“Would this pass ‘The Sun test’?”
Tim, please keep the content coming - it’s the only reliable gen nowadays.
I’m glad you are ok young sir and of course sorry to hear of your misfortune, thank you for being so real with your videos and please keep them coming, I’m also sorry to hear of your employment woes, you are a great person and I’m sure things will work out, keep real as we all love hearing the world as it is even though this makes us sad! Respect sir 👍🏻
Hi Tim, you are totally correct in everything you say. This country is on a slippery slope. We have literally no defence now.
I see your absolute frustration in what’s happening! Excellent! AND please keep on going .
Two years have passed and the world has gone mad ! 👍🇬🇧
Glad you walked away from the crash, sounds awful.
Tim, thanks being so genuine, your authenticity, positivity, insights and assessment of topics are a breath of fresh air and so refreshing. Glad you’re ok after your accident, keep up the good work from an ex F3 Liney who made good. You’re an inspiration to many!
Excellent point about setting the standard and leading by example. Best of luck Tim.
Great to see you again, happy that you are safe! None of us knew about your crash, I wondered why you were quiet about the China thing. Take it easy and heal well.
Any landing you can walk away from....... Glad you're alive and kicking.
Sorry to hear about the accident pal. Glad to hear you're OK.
As always, spot on video. I've pulled the black and yellow handle recently, ending a 26 year flying career generally due to some of the issues you've quite rightly highlighted
Well done Tim, morals and standards need to be upheld in the service. To be fair it should never have been someone outside the service who should have raised/challenged these issue. It highlights the lack of moral courage that senior officers appear not to possess. The head of the RAF, like the leader of the reds, needs to set those standards and be impeccable around the values everyone else should be following…leadership I think that’s called.
Brilliant narrative Tim! It is so refreshing to hear someone speak so confidently and authoritatively. Glad to hear you are doing well.
Speaking out about matters that are highly questionable, particularly when they relate to military matters, has to be commendable, as those in the services would risk their careers to do so. Hats-off to you for speaking out. I really struggle with many of the changes that politicians have made that have directly affected the quality of our Armed Forces, but there is no-one to give a voice to such matters and the list of issues is a long one! Keep up the good work.
I for one respect you are telling your opinion. We need more men like you. You contribute to broken systems getting some light and being repaired/changed.
TY
Good to see you back Tim, informative video as always , glad to see you're ok after the car crash
Thanks for the update. So sad to hear the flying training is in such a mess. Definitely different to the 70/80s when I was in. As for the reds, you're spot on sir. The boss sets the standards that everyone should strive to meet. Respect.
A commissioned officer should NOT be having a relationship with a female junior rank- especially within the same unit. Bad form. Unprofessional. Bad for morale. This is a prime example of the fundamental lack of discipline and moral values in so many British people today. HM Armed Forces are only as good as the society they recruit from.
With rank comes *RESPONSIBILITY* and a requirement to *SET A GOOD EXAMPLE.*
Glad you are safe and well Tim! Keep up the great videos!
I agree with this, it causes huge instability in the ranks and is 'unbecoming' - I'm old fashioned but society does change, of course.
Nailed it the CO sets the standard no ifs or buts and everything cascades down from there.
Sorry to hear about your accident Tim. Glad you’re ok. Keep up the fight. I enjoy watching your videos. 👍🏼
Breath of fresh air. We need courageous guys to stand up to this kind of nonsense. Thanks
Good to hear you're doing ok
Hi Tim, glad you're okay. Thank you for clearing up about the R.A.F. pilots in China, Ward Carroll an ex U.S. Navy pilot TH-camr was understandably perplexed verging on distraut, that the RAF pilots could be teaching the Chinese how to combat US aerial tactics.
Ward wasn’t a pilot, he was a RIO
Ex ground crew ....... To have the No1 at the time sleeping with the ground crew ..totally inappropriate and wouldn't have been acceptable back in the 70's . Also causes all sorts of complications in the rank structure ............ never mind the jockies ...........
Great to see your fit and healthy! Keep doing the great work!
ATPL conversation with ME IR, bolt on a £30K, Type rating, JOC, MCC you can wave bye bye to circa £60/£120K depending on how much “credit” the CAA give you - with no job guarantee of a job at the end.
Edit to add: wrt the Reds - anyone who served/serves in any military, (and with no respect to those women who serve or are serving), could foresee the issues with allowing (wrong word - but I hope I’m understood) women in front line Sqns ships/ subs and units. The RN Army and now RAF have all had these stories, all of which are utterly predictable with young military persons. The best political motives in the world will never constrain human behaviour. We’ve lost that basic understanding.
In other words boys will be boys ( and try it on) and girls will be girls( and let them!)
Good to see you are alive, keep up the good work
The Truth Hurts. Good Luck to those working overseas, Keep up the good work Tim.
Good to see you on your feet, I really like your videos they are just honest!! I get everything you say.
Good to hear you on the radio the other day too.
Great video Tim - balanced. Sorry to hear about your car accident - important thing is your ok 👍
The boss of the squadron should not be shagging someone in the same squadron. Military discipline requires that officers and other ranks don't mix to that level. This is what happens when you allow standards to drop. Our military is pretty crap.
Glad you’re okay Tim, these things bring you back to reality I think
What a standard to follow, Tim - good job.
Glad you're physically ok from your crash Tim. Take it easy, and like others have already said don't make any big decisions for a few weeks and only do it if you must. Hope you were insured comprehensively and get paid out, but of course they'll get their pound of flesh on renewal.
Good video Tim. Glad you got out of that accident with only your ego bruised. When I eventually get into DCS I will be joining your flight school. Cheers
Thank you, Craig - any help you need, just ask or email me.
And glad you are back and safe. It’s been too quiet!
I'm so glad more and more people are aware of WEF and their agenda
Who are WEF?
@@EvoraGT430 world economic reform, they are basically big brother. They shape world economy
@@EvoraGT430 Time to wake up matey
@@EvoraGT430 It's a globalist socialist planning group with all the super-rich and political elites in attendance. They are working with every Socialist/Communist entity that exists to further their Utopian (aka- Hell on Earth) goals. It would be fair to say every insane thing you are aware of is connected with them.
Great short sharp vid to the point. Well done Tim.
I'm glad you are ok. Really mean that.
Sorry about the job.
best wishes.
You're quite clearly brilliant Tim. I'm glad you're ok after your accident (not pleasant been there) you're a truth teller and it puts you in danger with people and organisations.
Pick your battles carefully I'm sure you don't need me to tell you.
Always really enjoy your content.
Stay safe.
Thank you, Mr L.
8:00 bang on! 👏🏻👏🏻 Wide awake!
Glad to see you made it out physically unscathed Tim. It's important to take time out for yourself - I leant this the hard way a year ago when I was in a crash that required surgery....
All the very best
Just came across your videos and I am hooked. You are a credit to the profession and speak with so much sense. You may recognise my surname from previous senior management in the RAF (he is my uncle) but to be honest we need more people like you in senior positions who are humble. My dream was to be a pilot just sadly I didn’t make the grade. There is no feeling like being up in the sky. Would love to see it from the cockpit, I can only imagine the feeling 🥰🥰
Thank you, Christopher and sorry to hear that you didn'[t get in but it does me you get to experience other aspects in the journey that is life - thank you for your kind words.
Good to see you back and unharmed!
Good to see you back Tim.
Hoit07 bro, still doing you .good job you’re ok .I lost half a leg ,pins in my back and motorbikes have a tendency to come at you from behind smthing to do with mass .I’m 9 stone bike was about 22 handle bars hit me straight in the face no full face helmet .oh
But still rocking n breathing .lol
Big ouch mate, that was a bad'un
Hells fire Tim - seriously sorry for your recent trouble but, as ever, thank you for your content. Best wishes - formerly........................... Wing-Flex
Keep up the good work, it's great to hear someone who has a fair, honest and balanced opinion of what is going on.
Definitely better than what has been written about the Reds in the Mail today.
I always knew it was impossible not to see some fall out from making these vids, you did the right thing Tim, as long as you have inner peace that is all that matters.
I do, Phatommark - lovely comment, I stand in the early morning in the rain with a tea that seems to fill itself and death is just a little more distant today and I think how I might add some value to the world.
@@FastJetPerformance You are representing common sense, you are representing the good guys, you are representing what many people feel and think but are maybe not in a position to always say out loud and with a platform that may broadcast an important message.
You are full of yourself, you are full of confidence, you are proud, you are a man, you are a fighter pilot, an RAF Fighter Pilot, from a time when we used to be proud to serve.
Don't change a thing Tim, seems a token effort mate but there is an awful lot of us right behind you.
Glad you are OK Tim. Cars can be replaced.
Glad you survived the car wreck, carry on speaking truth unto power.
Good points, fairly made as ever.
An episode of car destruction shakes one up in a number of obvious & less obvious ways. Take a breath, no big descisions in haste during the aftermath. Glad you only hurt the car.
Yes but what did Tim's wife do to him? Lol
i'm glad you are OK ! Keep saying it as it is , seems this is one of the few ways to keep the MOD accountable !
Integrity was a big word when I was in the service. Not seeing it so much now. Also the boundaries to what is considered ‘fair’ have been stretched a mile wide and turned grey. Keep up the good discussions/reporting Tim. Always nice to hear the truth spoken out regardless of the consequences. p.s. Put more water in those pub whiskeys ;)
Legend Tim, keep fighting the good fight.
Great update as always... Keep up the good work! Don't let the bastards get you down!
Standards old chap! That should have been I Latin lol Nil illigit carborundum
Loving your work Tim!
Very happy to be seeing you make a video on surviving an accident that could have ended you. Glad you're alive!
Thank you Sammy.
It's refreshing to hear someone say the things people think but haven't got the balls to verbalise. Great content Tim you're saying the things that need saying and will actually help people realise there's other angles to what can be such a taboo subject.
Sorry to hear about your accident shippers !! Keep up the good work it is appreciated 😊
Nice one Tim. Much respect. Keep dropping those “Truth bombs!” You are the front line when it comes to raising awareness and calling out those who would wreck our wonderful Air Force. Enemies take many forms but the worst ones of all are those who strike from within! Per Ardua Ad Astra! Best of luck mate!👍🏼🇬🇧⚔️
Great to see you back Tim. Sorry to here about the accident and so glad you're ok. I had a similar thing happen to me about 12 years ago. A red dear came across the road from behind a car going in the opposite direction. I didn't see it but hit it hard. The bonnet flipped up over the windscreen and my car was deflected into a tree. I hit the tree head on at about 40mph. Airbag deployed and I was ok. People have asked me if it went off with a loud bang? In truth, I can't remember hearing it. Yes, lots of white powder though. I suffered only a bruise to my nose but the car was totalled.
The deer? Well, I got shakily out of the car to check if it was OK, but before I reached it, it got up and bounded off over the fields - thank goodness.
I'd have been chasing it with a knife to get a couple of venison haunches!
1. Car crash - I had precisely the same memory experience as you when I had my glider crash; we put events together after but I literally cannot remember a thing about the accident sequence. I'm so glad you got away in one piece and I'm sorry your car got trashed.
2. What do I personally want to hear? I want to see more aviation; more in-cockpit video; more discussion of aviation events. Controversy isn't why I came here.
Thank goodness you are OK Tim. Good job you are Antifragile. 💪
Hope you are emotionally ok Tim. Take is easy.
Well spoken Tim. Glad you’re ok pal. Keep that chin up 🫵🏼💪🏼
Sorry to hear about your accident. I was wondering why the vlogs have been few and far between. Also it's a shame about your job. It's a shame companies are so spineless they are prepared to run away from free speech. Good to hear you again. Keep up the good work 👏
I like the sun test idea 👍 a good self check device for sure 🤘🕊🇬🇧🍻
Look after yourself, especially on the roads. Spineless of that company, even if entirely unsurprising. More surprising that someone presumably bothered to flag it.
You sir, are inspirational.
Great to see you're back Tim and glad you're ok after the accident. I'm so glad you maintain your standards and stand by your steadfast ethos and traditions. Me and my family are the same in this crazy world today. Like others have said it can feel lonely being one who has old fashioned (in todays woke world) values and standards but we are here by your side. You are doing great work Tim.
Greetings from the west of Ireland. Glad you made it out of the prang.. keep up the great work. Chris
Spot on as always Tim.
Tim, pleased you are OK. I suspected some time ago they’d try to shut you down. Institutions in all domains don’t like criticism especially from well-informed, eloquent pundits with the right motives. I have no doubt the RAF and MOD cringed when you spoke to expose their crazy policies and agenda. Keep up the excellent work.
Sorry to hear about the prang, FJP. Glad youre all ok. That was the orange MX-5? Nooo!
Great vid Tim 👍
Keep them coming Tim, being an ex lowest of the low in the RAF we all know that these topics are going on within the service but nobody until you, had the balls to bring them to the for. Thanks
Thank you, John - much appreciated and you were never lowest of the low, I'm sure you were in some way critical to my life today so genuinely thank you for doing that job.
Just stumbled on your channel Tim and enjoyed listening to you. Good words that must surely resonate with a lot of us...... The RAF's discriminatory (and utterly ludicrous) recruitment policy presents an interesting irony - in turning its back on natural meritocracy, is the RAF suggesting that BAME (ghastly acronym, apologies) people are not as suitable as their white British counterparts and so need an unnatural 'leg-up'? Years ago one of my close relations was MRAF. He'd never have allowed the world's best trained air force to act in such a, frankly, racist and wholly counter-productive way. Anyway, you've got a new subscriber.
Glad to hear you're OK after the accident Tim. Great video...keep up the good work.
Tim, I always enjoy your videos. Sometimes they are controversial & ask questions that people would rather not ask but, it shows you care enough to want these things brought into the light & answered. Thank you for your service and its not fashionable to say this but, the country is proud of you & all who served and who continue to do so. I did try & join the RAF as front line aircrew but was rejected as I wear glasses. Glad you're okay after your rather scary accident but on the lighter side, Martin Baker don't make car seats - or least not in cars that don't have a sunroof! Take care mate & keep the videos coming.
Thank you, Simon - that's a really nice thing to say and much appreciated.
Excellent reporting, keep it going Tim 👍
Thank you, Mark.
"..........along with some other senior officers". The most successful, and rewarded, officers in the British military are those who manage upwards. Precisely the opposite of what they're actually paid to do.
sadly some well earned corrective beatings are lacking in many areas of modern life especially politics ! great vid Tim sorry you bent the car
Hi Tim-your a top man and you’ll find your level. Mental health is different to each individual ; some of the stuff your involved in will drive you mad literally…I was a 30 year RM and have found a great pathway , which involves letting people in Command getting on with their jobs and bailing out of all this minutia! Don’t watch TV , get on with the simple things in life….walking in nature and slowing the brain down , your still living life in the fast lane and the accident is a consequence. Relax and slow down. Regards.
Thank you, David - I am trying to do what you suggest, there is no fighting some of these fights, a win is not achievable and so best to build your own bit of England and leave it to the politicians to do the rest.
@@FastJetPerformance .It took me some time to work out how to have inner peace-its a long slow road to a plan that works everyday but the answers are there…after the RM I worked in Probation and I found an organisation in constant turmoil and chaos which was completely without an ending or that which could be solved-so I only concentrated on one offender at a time and had the odd success..family , Nature and three good Oppo’s , works for me. As an aside my uncle was deployed in WW2 with the RAF in Halifax Nova Scotia as ground support of the Lancaster bomber training ; he and two other men rescued the pilot and navigator from a burning Lancaster that overran the runway….his name was William Brooke’s ( RIP)
Regards.
Dave.
Sorry to hear about your accident.......actually reinforces the need for HF; which if I’m honest I usually pay lip service to......I shan’t anymore. I’m glad you’re ok. As for losing the job, I know you’re ok about it BUT I think it’s appalling. I’m 20 years into my RAF career (technician) and whilst I’m embarrassed at the stories over the last few months NOTHING you’ve said isn’t true. Questions you’ve asked, should be asked and should be answered.
Glad you are ok, Tim! Car can be replaced. You can’t be!
Keep launching the truth bombs! To steal a line from Dads Army “they don’t like it up ‘em, you know!”
Great to see you back on YT again.
Stay safe!
Thank you Darren - my father and I used to watch Dad's Army when he was still alive so that resonates.
Good news that you walked away from a low level air bag attack - Reptile by name and nature.
Great video….glad you got the truth out ….glad you are ok from the accident!
Brilliant info as always , hearing your views is extremely educational , id like to hear you talk about the Ukraine air war and your analysis, also the procurement of RAF future fighters, and your view on American air power ie the F22 raptors future retirement etc
A good friend of mine sold her house to fund her training. Not a lot of change from £66,000 and guess what, no job in aviation.
Totally agree carry on nice one 👏👏👏👏👍
Tim, glad you’re ok after your spill. There’s another way, you become an SME with a UK based organisation.
Glad you're okay mate!
Sorry to hear about your missfortune re the job/car, I hope your OK. Keep holding 'feet to the fire' it's an important function that really shouuldn't be necessary in the Nations premier display team but there you go. Fight the good fight but loose the piano.
Brush it under the carpet...classic! Unfortunately just the tip of the iceberg...I bet previous magnificent men in their red suits will be nervous for the next few months at least..some with recent MBE...🤫
Sorry about your accident mate, get well soon.
