My grandson is in wagga RTU, he is the first direct entry loadmaster. He told me that 9 Sqn was used as an example of what not to do ie: forming Gunships, I only wish I could have told him that the only reason for gunships was for troop and asset protection and ask his Sgt instructors which is the only RAAF Sqn that returned from a war zone with more aircraft than was on the books.
