THE FREEDOM OF STIRLING

This honour is normally granted to a Royal Air Force station but, exceptionally, was presented to 43 Fighter Squadron on the evening of Friday 3rd June 2005 in the Great Hall of Stirling Castle at a dinner which also commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Squadron Association.
