and we remember Saturday morning parades EVERY week!
Looking back, I'm somewhat bemused by the juxtaposition of highly skilled aircrew and groundcrew, keeping the UK safe from the 'Red Hordes' one minute and then being subjected to marching up and down and shouted at the next. At the time I suppose we all thought it was normal. I do appreciate that some parades have a useful purpose and can be rather splendid occasions, but Station parades on Saturday mornings was a bummer!

Yes! Happy Armed Forces Day to all, past and present.
