The End of the Auxiliaries.
Smudge,
Very interesting, thanks. It would seem that we were "in doubt" even at the time of the Question, but of course it made no difference in the end. The whole lot was "chopped" in '58.
As for the flying squadrons, the plain fact was that the nation could not afford to re-equip them with the Hunter. The pilots were game to carry on, but they were getting old now, and there weren't enough ex-NS ones to fill the gaps.
"The Control and Reporting System is in process of being re-equipped and reorganised. This process is producing economies both in units and in establishments." In other words, cut to the bone !
Nothing changes,
Danny.
