Tis true. Formed at Scampton by a Wg Cdr Admin who had been appointed as OC Admin (Desig) of the new RAF Stanley. The scribblies involved got very macho and warry over their intended role and submitted a wish-list for kit that would have had Rambo shaking in his boots including the ultimate weapon of a 4-drawer filing cabinet painted in IRR green (I jest ye not).
