ACW VGL

That was common. My Squadron did not like me on the VGS one bit. As I was also a Region shooter (.303) there was always a clash of interests.

It got referred to Wing HQ (Kent) for decisions, the Squadron saying they wanted me to partake in Squadron Activities (I was the Duke of Edinburgh Award Coach), the Wing Musketry Officer wanting me to shoot for Wing and the VGS wanting me to fly weekends.

VGS won. The Wg Cdr was ex-CO of 618 VGS :-)

I do believe it cost me promotion at the Squadron though as my contemporaries (those that lasted) overtook me quickly for no obvious reason I could see.................
