I wonder how unusual it is, in more recent times, for an RAF squadron to get less than 6 months notice of disbandment. That is when they finally get around to announcing which one is to go (I presume that this hasn't happened yet or it would already be on this thread!).

Blow the Sqn fund on a big party guys!!



P.S I thought when you got down to 2 Sqns then a full blown OCU couldn't be justified on cost grounds, e.g current situation with VC-10s, E-3D, etc. (Not quite sure what the score is on C-130 fleet now there are 2 Sqns K and 2 Sqns J). I thought we ended up with Training Flights or embedded teaching cells within an Operational Sqn (I am old enough to remember the LTF at Binbrook!!).
