The last time they re-opened Chivenor (in 1981 before the pink marigold chaps got their hands on it
), one of the best decisions was that there would be
no 'Ops' Wing. Instead we had a real
Flying Wing and a Wg Cdr Flying, plus 'Dogfood' (DOCFW - Deputy Officer Commanding Flying Wing). 'Station Ops' worked for Wg Cdr Flying and knew its place!
I don't know how long that survived, no doubt by the time they closed heaven-in-Devon it was 'Ops' Wing again?
Back when the RAF still had station telephone directories (and operators), it was always easy to find the Admin Wg pages in the Brize directory; the pages were colour coded and Admin Whinge's were blue - so it was 'Blue for Blunt'!
Some of the wanque-word titles for RAF sections these days are almost hilariously absurd....
