Well Done 28 Squadron
Maybe a few people have seen this already - couldn't let it pass without comment.

As a former member of 28 (AC) Squadron from those heady days in Hong Kong, I would also like to add my congratulations to the boys for a job very well done.
I know there are lots of threads out there about GCM's, BOI's, Terms of Service, pay, allowances et al, but lets not forget the excellecnt job people are doing on behalf of HM Gov. It is the personnel (well, most of them, excluding those blanket-stackers on GCM's, BOI's .........!!) that prove the British Forces are still the best at what they do.
Take care of yourselves guys.

Heightsgood,
Are you suggesting that they received this recognition because OC28 sqn's Father sits on the Awards board. Is it not possible that they deserved it because of all they have achieved? Are they to be excluded because OC28 sqn's Father, seemingly, sits on the Awards board?
Sorry old lad but this self indulgent whine really gets my goat and you are beginning to sound like a first class tosser.

NC43,
is a little strong considering height only made mention of something that I'm sure the majority of us were unaware of.
It is undoubtably the award is the result of 28 Sqn's achievements!!!! Flight International is a reptuatable magazine. However, does anyone know who came 2nd and who the other contenders were? As ever, being the winner in a race is only as good as those that you beat surely!

Cragy, I got the impression from the citation that that was more or less the point - new and relativley untried kit in a difficult operational theatre: job done, kit proven.
