From the Editor

So we have come to the beginning of another year – I honestly think that as each year passes someone presses a fast forward button somewhere, the years go by so quickly. It reminds me of the words a friend said to me just as I had my child a few years ago, in parenting the days are long, but the years are short. I think that’s true of just getting older!

In December it was lovely to welcome members of the local community to the Officers’ Mess for a Christmas Lunch. Due to the global pandemic this event hadn’t taken place since 2019. Many new faces had their first opportunity to visit the Station, and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to eat some delicious food with some friendly company. 2023 looks set to be another busy year, with various deployments for the Squadron’s, the 80th anniversary of the formation of 617 Squadron, the 20th anniversary of Op TELIC and the Coronation of King Charles just some of the big events. We look forward to telling you about some of those in upcoming editions. Thanks to those of you who took part in the recent Community Survey, the results are being processed and we will let you know the outcome in the next few weeks.

Articles for the next edition need to be submitted by 3rd March to diane. wilson704@mod.gov.uk

Deadline for Next Issue: 3rd March
