Good to see the Sqn spirit alive and well (although the choreography is a bit lacking at times!). Stay safe.

To modify the above quote

14 Sqn, Brüggen from 20's demise (not mourned), until sometime in 85 ish (The Not so mighty 'Jag).

Is any of that information on the walls in the ops room potentially quite sensitive and open to exploitation?

You are quite right to show concern but I am pretty certain that the info boards, I think you are talking about, are actually the aircraft rectification boards and they will not show any sensitive information that could be used for dodgy purposes.

In fact, the only thing they will show is how hard the Riggers/Sooties and Bomb’eads work and how slack the Fairies and Leckys are.

Because some SoB disbanded it (them).

I'm an ex Fairy and rarely slack, (but I take your point). Did my bit helping sooty mates with refuelling etc but never close enough to a rigger to assist with elsan processing.

A happy new year to all. Take care all you boys and girls in forrin parts.

Srennaps .................

14 more than 31 - I always knew the Gold never shone right on you

Happy New Year Mate and Best Wishes to 14 of course.

Maybe a drink in '11?

You know that I loved both 14 and 31, and yes the Gold (Stars) did shine on me. I was young and wild on 31 and but became old and wise on 14. Both Sqns will always be close to me and my family, remembering the great times we had. The experience moulded the way our lives turned out and I can be very proud of the values my two daughters hold as a result.

Happy New Year to you and to all our fellow mates out their doing a hard job in difficult times. As for that drink in 11, bring it on
