We should also congratulate Wing Commander Roger Elliott as the new Boss of II (AC) Squadron who is also to lead the re-roll to Typhoon and the move to Lossiemouth
Congratulations indeed!
However, to get to Wg Cdr in this day and age without serving on operations must be quite an achievement.
With respect to the mounting of medals, here's the new MOD JSP on such things:
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...med-forces.pdf
and look at this little gem:
Court Mounting of Medals
12.28. Members of the Royal Household (eg Equerry or ADC), members of the
Household Division and those units on public duties are to have medals court mounted,
at public expense for other ranks. There is no other Service requirement for medals to
be court mounted.
Does this mean all medals - unless attached to the Royal Household, shall be swing mounted - as per the chap above?
