A sad day for 19(F) Squadron, as another famous fighter squadron bites the dust
Seems a bit strange that as the role is effectively the same, and the base is the same, that the Sqn is being stood down after such a period of relative continuity. I appreciate the history of IV Sqn, which is considerable, but it does seem rather odd that they are muscling-in at the expense of 19(F) Sqn.
Maybe some guilt after the premature (and very wrong in my opinion) retirement of the Harrier? Guess we'll never know!
Nevertheless, here's to the events of 24 Nov and to raising a few glasses in memory of 19(F) Sqn. RIP Dolphins.
