'Expert': such a nicer word than the more precise one - 'dullard'...
To save anyone going through that thread again:
617 have an advantage in that they were awarded their Standard ahead of the 25 year qualifying period (i.e you have to have 25 years service before the Sovereign will grant the award of the Standard), and this, to date, has made them invulnerable to disbandment other than briefs period in limbo before getting a new type (e.g. transition from Vulcan to GR1).
The interesting question here is what happens to 120 - they too gained their standard ahead of time (likewise in recognition of their distinguished work in WW2) and have enjoyed similar benefits in terms of surviving ahead of more senior units
As for 1(F), I assume that they will simply become the next Typhoon sqn to form, since they are ahead of any of the other possible candidates in terms of seniority.
In truth, there has been a growing school of thought that says that the squadron needs to be rethought, and I suspect that PN's idea of us seeing a number of smaller squadrons (say of eight aircraft each for the FJ) may gain traction with the chaps on 5th floor who are looking at force structure issues.
