Squadron allocation - R.A.F.
Just a simple question that occured the other day.
Imagine it's 1970. I'm a newly qualified pilot and am waiting for my first posting to a fighter squadron. Do I request - and hopefully get - the squadron of my choice or do I go where I'm sent? If the latter can I do a mutual swap with someone who has been sent to my choice of squadron if I've been his choice of squadron?
