To get more than a couple of Sqn members together in one country at the same time is a miracle and then they are on one standby or another. To get them to attend every memorial for all the Sqn blokes that have died over the last 90 years would be an impossibility.

Perhaps when you were serving we had the 'flex' to do these things - we do not today, so please do not blame the Sqn blokes, blame the politicians who have caused to to keep this thread going and that have culled our numbers to the point of breaking strain.

Another of ours passed on today. It would be good to think we could all attend his funeral, but I somehow doubt that will be possible.
