Why weren't we told this before on PPRuNe? Al, your link is dated 12 April 2010. The new rank was wef 1 April 2010. There has to be an agenda here, a cover up, a scandal perhaps?
Is this the thin edge of the wedge for the RAF Regiment? First the good news and then perhaps the not so good news. I suppose the next phase to watch out for will be the QCS performing their Ceremonial Duties with Army rather than RAF Drill movements.
I noticed last year when they mounted guard at Windsor they were ordered; "Out the Escorts" who doubled at the High Port from the rear of the guard to march either side of the Guard Commander on leaving Victoria Barracks. Is that in the RAF Drill Manual? Well is it?
Mark my words, yeah doomed I say, doomed!
