AD definitely not flavour of the moment. The Regt is loosing Rapier: 15, 16, 26 and 37 Sqns RAF Regt will also be sorely missed. Only slightly balanced by 3 and 63 Sqns RAF Regt (currently IS role in NI and QCS respectively) being bought up to strength as fully deployable 'general duties' field sqns. Overall reduction of 10% in RAF Regt strength.
