Are 2 Sqdn not celebrating it being 2/2/22? Usually RAF Sqdns do something on days like these?

Ok, so II(AC)Sqn are apparently out of the country, given there's nothing that I can see in this forum to state they're overseas, was it not a reasonable question from Unknown?

I’m aware of 8 Sqns 8/8/88 @ Lossie and the lesser 08/08/08 @ Waddington, however what other squadrons have held date celebrations?

I ask for my own enlightenment as you state that the RAF Sqns usually do something, so must be aware of other shindigs?

I saw it on here. Not sure if it’s started yet (or if it will happen) but it mentions a typhoon squadron.

Ah Foreign Policy played out on FC. Boris might be struggling to attend all those parties but I’m hoping he doesn’t rely on Rhubarb for military deployments.
