Proper "Wing" types (not the new kids on the block stacker variety) to pull up a sandbag!

My good man, i was referring to your use of "Wing" and TSW, just for the record books, i believe that your unit has been living in the shadow of TCW, even going as far as to use our abbreviations!

A condensed history lesson from the RAF website

In 1962, the 38 Group Support Unit was formed and was based at RAF Odiham. It soon became apparent that communications were a significant support task and in 1965, No. 50 Tactical Signals Unit was formed, subsuming the communications support provided from within the 38 Group Support Unit. The Wing, as it is affectionately known, and its commitments continued to grow, and in 1967 it was renamed the Tactical Signals Wing, gaining its present name (TCW) in 1969.

91 - 99 not as long but its the quality that counts!:PDT_Xtremez_28:
