Kengineer, a similar thing happened to the last non-TWU Hunter squadrons.
I arrived (as the last JP ever posted to an operational Hunter squadron) to join 58 Sqn at Wittering on 16 May 1976. Only to find out that the disbandment had been brought forward by 6 months, so back I went to TWU Brawdy on 28 June 1976. After a very enjoyable few weeks, even if I didn't get to fly the RAF's best-kept Hunter F(GA)Mk9s....
Well, not until the aircraft were handed over to join the rest of the barely-serviceable and very tatty jets at Brawdy.
I should have spotted the signs then......
The way the last Jaguars have been treated is despicable.
