A very good friend of mine was the WO who lowered the RAF Ensign at Leuchars for the very last time, his daughter posted a video of the event on FB and it was quite a touching occasion. Speaking with him last night, he regarded lowering the Ensign as a great honour and one he will remember for the rest of his life, he also said it was also a sad occasion closing 104 years of RAF history, but the RAF will have a small enclave on the airfield from where he will finish out his RAF career.
