Just a historical note. When 237 OCU Buccs at Honington (later Lossie)picked up its war role in 1984 for designating for RAFG Tornado, the unit was going to receive a "shadow sqn" number.
At that stage TWCU had 45 Sqn, 237 OCU was muted to be getting 58 Sqn. Shades of Wittering! However, it never came to pass. I bet not many people knew that bit of trivia.
