Army, navy and air force service edit

At present we have "It is believed that Sykes is the only man in British history to have been a serving officer in all three of the military services - the army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force".

Definately wrong - Michael Torrens-Spence for one served in all three. Kernel Saunters 13:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
