There was an impressive change of command parade/function at RAAF Richmond on 17 November. Some existing members of 36 and 37 Squadron reassembled themselves to form the realigned 36 Sqdn and marched off into the sunset, heading for Amberley, capably led by their brand new CO, Wg Cdr Linda Corbould complete with a row of medals and sword at the ready and closely observed by a pleased Air Force Chief.
Meanwhile a much enlarged 37 Squadron, also with a new CO, remained at Richmond to ponder how to manage the integration of its new members ex 36 Sqdn and 8 additional C-130Hs.
Wish them well and a merry Xmas.
