1, 4, 19 and 20 all done, but 208 is going to scupper my chances.... (unless we're not counting flying training)

No's 1 and 2 Radio School and No 2 School of Tech Training were well beaten while still in Boys service, but 214 Sqdn is going to be a real challenge.

24 Sqn - check
30 Sqn - check
47 Sqn - check
70 Sqn - not yet (perhaps when it reforms & all the youngsters have left so the RAF is really desperate....?)
