It is also comforting that the colonist Marines have already been over to the island for some joint training. I also understand that the USMC Stubbies will be training on the QE with their coubnterparts in the near future.
In case anyone wonders my connection with the RAF........... one of my instructors in the F-102 back in 1965 was Sqd Ldr Cowley, a Lightning jock and my flight commander. Still have his wife's recipe book, heh heh. Then I had Sqd Ldr Wharmby at Myrtle Beach with my 356th TFS A-7D squad, circa 1973 or 1974. Finally, I worked with many during my last few years as Ops Plans weenie for the 388th TFW Viper outfit.
