Yes, unfortunately 241 OCU became 'No. 55(R) squadron, the VC10 OCU' in October 1993. But not for that long, because in July 1994 we became part of No. 101 Sqn, losing our independence. That person who was OC 101 at the time really hated the term 'Tanker Training Flight' and tried to run his OCU instructors as if he was in charge of a BFTS, but the moment he left a couple of years later, up went our 'VC10 Training Flight' insignia!

Old age and treachery once again proving superior!
