Congrats to all those recognised. Two names I recognise at the top of the list - Rich Knighton, who was Stn Cdr Wittering and a thoroughly nice chap, and Garry Tunnicliffe who was OC Admin at Colt up to closure, and again a thoroughly nice chap.

Watched the grad today to see my lad do his Halton square bashing 2 years late.
There were a few that collapsed, but two seemed completely out and were stretchered.
Could someone who knows let on if the 2 serious ones are ok please?
Last grad I was at was my own 36 years ago, but boy do you feel for them, when they had to wait 2 years and then they don’t make it and their poor families have to see the stretchers.

A former Chinook pilot is sueing the MOD for damage allegedly caused by his supplied body armour. Link from the Telegraph, the story is reported in other papers.
"Louis Warburton was forced to wear 20-kilogram body armour when flying Chinook helicopters during the UN-backed Operation Newcombe, which he says pressed against his thighs, damaging his sciatic and femoral nerves, causing intense pain and numbness. He was medically discharged from the RAF and says that the pain has affected his daily activities, including his sex life with his partner."...
So rumour has it DCOM Ops has written to all non-vaxed service personnel stating that continued refusal to vaccinate against covid "could affect your employability"...
All the recipients are having to sign to acknowledge receiving the letter.
I wonder if they have the stones to boot someone out over this....?
