Right, the Op Corporate and 32 Sqn **** stirring has gone far enough!
FOR THE RECORD.
I (plus 2 other guys) were flown by 32 Sqn HS125 from RAF Brize Norton to RAF Gibraltar late April 1982. We were given 3 hours notice to move. The car journey from RAF Upavon to RAF Brize Norton will always be remembered. We were carrying TS Crypto for use by the first elements of the Taskforce.
The Transflight Signal that initiated the whole journey was sent Flash (the first Flash Signal I had ever seen) and was codeworded Op Corporate. I know because I wrote the signal. I was countersigned by MALM K** B*******, the DOpsO.
The third memorable thing about the whole tasking was that the co-pilot of the HS125 was a Flt Lt F**** M******** who I had not seen since the pair of us had passed out from an AATC Course at RAF Shawbury some years earlier.
Surely to God, end this public spat. It serves no purpose.
