Morale on the A4 side of the house isn't too bad, as we're reasonably busy until the end of the year. Currently we're in Darwin until end of this month and then to Singapore for FPDA exercise until end of September.
As for 14 Sqn (Fighter lead in training) they've lost it. All flying for guys on FLIT has stopped, and they've mostly resigned to exit next month. I understand the darts board is getting a good workout (although this prison guard work may change things).
I don't know how the RNZAF intends to put on all the closing down parades, as redundancy from the maintenance personnel and aircrew resignations will have taken effect. May have to call in all the senior officers to fill the ranks. There's enough of them to make up a damn good wing parade!
