Getting away from the 'Jacko's right/wrong argument' for a minute, I would like to say that the opening statement of this thread show both sides of one of the key issues we face at the moment i.e. leadership (or the lack thereof).
OC 6 went on record in a public forum to make the announcement of the Sqn's demise, and went on to explain why certain decisions had been taken regarding final displays and so on. Compare and contrast this with the silence from the top levels on the subject or indeed, many other subjects such as the formation of Air Cmd HQ etc.
Sir, thank you for letting us know the facts and that you are doing what you can to see the old girl off in the best way you can. I wish you and the all those associated with the Sqn the very best for the future.
