Archimedes - Thanks for your response. I always believed XXV was up there somewhere. Was it the seniority of XXV that saw the demise of 11 and 23 while XXV survived at Leeming?

The indicators for XXV are not good as there’s nothing on the horizon re the number plate being carried forward (not that I’m in the know but I’ve heard – always dangerous). Rumours do abound though about the lack of support for XXV from those on high who wish to promote the succession of squadron’s they served on. A terrible rumour that I'm sure is not true . Hopefully the XXV number plate will reappear, it should do.

In the meantime lots of ex and current XXV'ers will be at Leeming on the 28th/29th March for the usual sedate social gatherings that occur when a great squadron goes (OK - a bit of bias there).
