Stories from the Future - RAF Speculative Fiction for 2040

[dimsum]

A collection of short stories by the RAF about how they envision operations in 2040, similar to the US Army's "Mad Scientist Initiative". It's an easy (non-technical) read.

I know we had something similar in the early 2000s.

I was looking forward to this, until I saw that the RAF still had pilots in 2040! What the?!?

...like the pilot mafia will ever change. There could be 1 manned aircraft left in the fleet and they will still consider themselves superior to RPAS Pilots

I fully expect that in my lifetime, the idea of a pilot inside an aircraft (aside from sport) will be something talked about "in the olden times".

Something like open cockpits and silk scarves.
