Firstly, respect to those out there defending us. Thanks fellas - and stay safe.

The bigger question is "would the Army choose to defend airfields if the RAF Regiment were binned" is as unclear now as it was in 1942 when the Wegiment was formed.

IF the Army want to take on these duties, then there is IMHO a very strong argument for transferring the Regiment to the Army. However, if not, then they'd better stay where they are.

And actually, the best possible reason is that without the Rocks then we'd have to have some sort of Army detachment for CCS - and imagine how much fun that's going to be....
