Good point from AA above - I think that is the obvious answer, but lost in the confusion towards mirror squadrons. Why waste hundreds of flying hours to make ALL personnel jack of ALL trades... when a cadre of selected few would achieve any cross over needed. Bit of a strange snipe at the "old folk" on 660 Sqn - trust me the only thing creeking there is the Sqn itself, as ever it's the old and bold who keep a little sanity and stability
going. As for impunging the character.... sugested by Father Jack Hacket above, I hardly think an OBE, MA and cfs are decorations to be classed as "highly decorated" Please get your head out of the dark, and get your blinkers off to see the world how it truly is before shouting down others threads. Maybe anger took over? Maybe this is a good idea, but in who's head, the only sensible reply so far has come from teetering head who makes some very good points and ones worth more discussion. Watching with interest.
