I believe it was tremblers again who suffered during GW2. They were pretty cross when someone "stole" the squadron pennant from its flagpole outside their HQ building at Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia. The F3 had been relegated to a "backstop" defensive cap during the conflict and its aircraft were restricted to within Saudi airspace.

OC 111 was even unhappier when he was presented with the missing pennant a couple of days later by OC 51 Sqn who told him that even if his aircraft had not been over the border then at least his flag had been combat flown over Iraqi territory(in a Nimrod R1).
