Never has a truer word been spoken.
Was it any coincidence that 19 Sqn recently had to stand aside to be usurped by IV Sqn at Valley? Despite the fact that, in my humble opinion, 19 had a far more illustrious history (first RAF Spitfire Sqn, BoB Sqn etc)?
I think not.
Was it anything to do with ex-Harrier pilots occupying the higher echelons of the RAF?
Maybe.
The excuse of the sqn receiving a new aircraft didn't really wash since 19 had been operating the Hawk T2 for almost 3 years by then.
