Closing a unit - traditions and formalities.
Are there any formalities or traditions to be observed when closing a unit (an SRO signing off,that no one will ever read, a signal going out,that will never be responded to or picked up, a final drink in the bar onto a tab that will never be paid off)?
And is anyone allowed to take away any final trappings of office, or does it all, down to the last pennant, get taken away to be stored in the corner of some big hangar until no one cares enough to resist burning it?
I only ask because the final RAF Cottesmore road signs have now gone.. I wonder if anyone cared enough to bag any of those on-site signs.
