Jacko,
I think you've given a good account of 206 Sqn's claim to fame and I enjoyed reading your reasons why the sqn should be saved from the axe rather than CXX. Unfortunately, the RAF being a organisation with an objective and systematic approach to problem solving had to resort to the "Manual of RAF Simplicity and Painting by Numbers" rather than analysing the cumulative contributions by each of all 4 Nimrod MR2 sqns and then make a pragmatic and intuitive decision. We are in the wrong company for that approach to be taken up, though.
Don't let the other w'nkers wind you up. From an "non- real aircrew, ie without wings", kind of aircrew mate ;-)
