Ambassador to Estonia Ross Allen has joined the Royal Air Force as a reservist after completing basic training at RAF Brize Norton in the U.K. According to a report in U.K. daily The Times, Allen was inspired to join the RAF by crews he has met while serving as ambassador to Estonia over the past four years. The ambassador also told The Times that living in Estonia has made him keenly aware of the growing sense of threat in the region. While the chances of being called upon to fight are remote, if such an eventuality does arise: "I'm ready for that," Allen told The Times. Allen will continue to serve as the U.K's ambassador to Estonia until next summer.
