FAO whowhenwhy


Anyway, as Jacko says, rather than have an A Flt and a B Flt, you could have a 41(F) sqn and a 54(F) sqn, with a Wing Cdr as OC. A station could have a couple of Wings. The ground crew would belong to the wing, serving both Sqns.
I am perplexed as to where whowhenwhy's elitist attitude is coming from. Groundcrew are an integral part of any Squadron by simply "Sticking us into a wing" is an arrogant and blinkered attitude to take on. Why not have Aircrew Wings and dispose of the Squadron numbers all together, then some historical issues can be laid to rest, like the Squadron of Aricrew that Strafed it's own Groundcrew whilst fleeing or the Squadron who left the Groundcrew to be massacred by the advancing German Army to name but a very small few.


Remember you need us a hell of a lot more than we need you. I'm warming to the use of UAV's..
