As Ex XV Groundcrew 'Laarbruch 1984-87'. Any ideas if they are holding a social gathering to commemorate this centenary event?.

I was with XV at Laarbruch 89-91. Best tour, best squadron I served with. Don't know how much longer they will be going though :confused:

At least it isn't merely a 'fin-job'. Just about, anyway.

Well the last I heard was that XV will survive as the Tornado OCU till 2018, I suppose that depends how long the replacement takes. I still think the OSD should be 2021 just in case.
But I suspect I know what will happen on the next SDSR (aka lets cut more important stuff).....
