Anyone here from 617 Sqn? What's the view in the squadron? As fine a reputation as 617 has, this business smacks of a PR sop to a Twittering public who, after all its publicity this year, are almost as familiar with the number 617 as they are 633 - and in any case probably think these are the only two squadrons in the RAF.
I agree that 74 or 92 are far better candidates; didn't the former introduce our first Lightning?
