AA makes a valid point (MAINJAFAD - lets not get bogged down in the semantics!
).
I think I'm right in saying that the RAF Regt is the only regular infantry formation to have been on active service, each year, somewhere,
every year, since WW2 (didn't the Royal Marines take 1967 off?). And before anyone has a go at the Regt, I can't be done with willy waving these days, I think the Short Range Desert Group tag is absolutely hilarious and if I ever get my hands on the Mover who stole my issue penknife..
As a 1(F) old boy, this is good news. How many served on both 1 Sqns, I wonder? I can think of two others (I know, too much time etc).
