"PS. Interesting to note that the mud mover, female or not, has more operational medals than the AD chap!!"
As the story goes, RAF dentist posted from Odiham to Leuchars enquired at her first Guest Night why the policy was not to wear medals...
Not really surprising.....a few AD guys might still have FRY and Iraq gongs, and a few more will have something for Ellamy. There's not been much need for OCA/DCA in the sandpit - unlike muds, SH and AT.
I still think that a Wg Cdr taking over his Sqn could pay a few quid to get his Jubilee medals mounted...at least when he inevitably gets his OBE at Tourex he can get them done in a oner.
