RAF HONINGTON

[maybe_mrs]

Hi

I recieved a letter today informing me about my fiancee's course details etc. He is currently in the process of trainee gunner course for the RAF Regiment at Honongton.
On this letter is his postal address so I can send him letters. There is however one part of the address that I don't understand.

It first tells me to enter AC (name) which is fine but under that it tells me to put in 'Capital Flight'

Can anyone tell me what this means? Is it his service number or something. I can't ask his as I can't get hold of him at the moment.

Capitals Flight is the name of the training flight he is on. It's named that because the RAF Regt were amongst the first units into many of the european capital cities during the war, securing airfields and capturing german aircraft and associated technology. All the training flights at Honington are named after famous Regt events and battles, so as well as Capitals, there is El Alamein and Meiktila, and there used to be a Juno Flight.
