I didn't mention 'battle honours' at all!! I'm talking about property ie buildings and estate...
National heritage which remains yours, mine and the
Nation's heritage.
'National' heritage dear boy, things like the first Central Flying School in the World at RAF Upavon formed by Lord Trenchard, RAF Gutersloh Officers Mess with its' bending beam in the tower etc etc.
So get him/her to re-read it to you there's a love
I think Upavon was allowed to decay long before the Army took over! The Army is'nt going to pay for the upkeep of disused hangars when it could be spending money on living accommodation. As for the beam in Gutersloh Officers Mess thats long gone, you're using it as a 'Chip' for your shoulder, its big enough!
