Spotter,
I regret to say that I understand the person concerned is, allegedly, a SNCO, infact a very SNCO (but not a WO yet) and so I find it even more astonishning that someone with so much time in the service would take such a point of view. I would have hoped that he was old enough and wise enough to have been a bit more adult ands sensible about the matter.
I wholeheartedly agree with nearly everythiing that has been said here, but I find the saddest thing is that (presumably) the CMC and O i/c have been prepared to allow its removal. 'Tis little wonder the RAF is in such a state when history can be removed and locked in a cupboard because someone finds a dogs name offensive, God help us!
I notice that, despite another thread on this forum about Scampton, there is a distinct lack of Scampton voices here, and no one has either denied or confirmed my original rumour. Are you all under instructions from someone NOT to comment? Please can someone from Scampton clarify things???
Kind regards to all
TSM
