Are we going to have to endure "100 years of" every RAF Sqn....etc etc blah blah
"Endure?" Really? There are a slack handful of operational sqns left in the RAF. If the few that are left serving want to mark their unit's centenary then good luck to them. Having a bit of pride in ones unit these days can only be a good thing.
Additionally all of those folk PVRing into the bright lights of civvy street can use the celebrations as a freebie leaving do too...
And as for "diluting the message", please... If the RAF spent a bit less time gazing up its own arse worrying about the latest "message" and a bit more time focussing on its own fundamental flaws it would be a far better place.
And yes, congrats 30 Sqn! I did 7/8 years with the Sqn, precisely 70 years after my grandfather served his time on 30.
