RAFVR(T) Retd' if I wished and if I ever feel the need I shall continue to do that.
I was irked when I discovered I wasn't required to attend the Sqdn anyway as WGLO had been made an established Wing Staff post, a fact my Wg Cdr had neglected to tell me.
Unfortunately the Wg Ad O, a retired 'rock' Wg Cdr who I got on well with and who was an excellent communicator, was sidelined due to a bad motorbike acident otherwise I'm sure I would have been told.
