The marching contingent was from RAF Honington, where HRH is Honorary Air Cdre, and is active in that role. I’m sure there was plenty of rehearsal for the contingent (Gunners, RAFP and other trades) because it was shown on TV news (Look East, I think), and you’d expect there to be. No mention of accountants in the reporting though... It could be they disguised themselves with blue sashes. Very cunning, dressing as drill instructors just to screw up a parade; what will they get up to next?.
