1. Don't loose any of the sqn history. There/were many pieces of memorabilia within the squadron - the scrapbooks are history within themselves. The MAAF sounds like a good place. For example - The Porter farewell flypast under the Sydney Harbour Bridge is captured in a framed picture somewhere in the squadron.
2. Also, if the FW capability is to go - there are many past Horizontal Pursuit Squadron pilots and maintainers out there that would have a real interest in sending the squadron off properly. Get this right!
