The then Wg Cdr Dalton took command of XIII Squadron during July 1992. He undertook an extended tour as CO (including a period as a gp capt) due to the sqn move from Honington to Marham and (IIRC) to cover an Op JURAL det. I am not close enough to visit Marham to look at the sqn cdrs board in the sqn to see the exact date he handed over (to Mick H if memory serves me right) but to the best of my knowledge he was OC on the fateful day. Obviously, I stand by to be corrected.
The reason why I mentioned 'private thoughts' in my post 5931 is that he definately wouldn't have been the sqn cdr when the BoI was finalised -whether the stn cdr would have discussed his draft comments on the BoI with either him (Dalton) or the (then) current sqn cdr is unknown (and I would imagine never publically admitted anyhow).
Apologies Brian that I can't be more accurate at the moment. If you are looking for previous views of the current CAS that may be contradictory were there any accidents during his tenure at Coltishall?
