Might the ending of the Boy Entrants and Aircraft Apprentice schemes have some effect on the recent standards of drill in the RAF?
(ex 96th Locking)
Back in the days when we could afford an RAF, at RAFC Cranwell we did indeed march to 'Aces High' - complete with the glockenspiel part. Played by the RAF College Band, of course.
One day they also played 'The Liberty Bell' by Sousa - well know as the theme tune to Monty Python's Flying Circus. Our marching suffered a bit that time!
Someone told me that they use recorded music over speakers at Cranwell these days as the College can no longer afford a real band.....
