Have you ever been a member of a flying Sqn? I don't know you from Adam. I assume, since you are on this forum, you have at least a passing acquaintance.
You could easily argue that none of it matters. Those of us that have been on Sqns would of course disagree. It is the same as asking an infantryman if he cares about being a member of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Would he rather just be a member of number 36 infantry regiment with no associated history.
Whilst your military colleagues may not care I'd be amazed if any of them that have been on Sqns would claim not to.
I just think the world would be a sadder place if we all stopped caring. It would, however, keep on turning I'm sure.
