My most enjoyable tour was with 1(F) when it was getting the GR7 (although it probably wouldn't return the sentiment
).
I was disapointed to have missed being there yesterday, but still - all good things must come to an end and it did us well over the years, so its a time for pride too - however badly premature the decision was/is. Lets face it, not chucking the Irish a few billions would have helped retain skills set and capability.
I'll miss 'em in the sky over Rutland although I heard talk yesterday that they may be retained for Reservists(?) - and will any be sent to Boscombe? Also, if yesterday was the final
Operational Flight, are any to be flown out for museums etc too? I'd like to have one final look.
