Excellent news, great coverage and a well-deserved return for the Sqn.
But...
I don't bemoan their welcome and parade at all - they deserved it, it should happen.
What about the rest of the guys and girls deploying as singletons and trickling in and out of the UK on their own? No parade, a solo trip to / from BZZ, no colleagues with them. Deploying as non formed units means they don't have a cohesive team around them and can often be more exposed to the mental aspects that are more and more common. What can we do for them? Parades and all of that is good stuff, but so many of the RAF (and the other Services) get nothing. Do we just accept that gulf of difference? I can't reconcile this one in my own head. What do you think?
