Re-instate RAF 14 Squadron's 'Crusaders' nickname.

The Issue

The RAF, based on one complaint, has ordered that one of it's squadrons, 14 squadron, must no longer be referred to by its long standing 'Crusaders' nickname; a moniker it earned whilst the squadron served over the Near East during WW1. 

This is erasure of the squadron's history and a slap in the face to those who serve and who have served in it's ranks. It is also a slap in the face of Britain and it's History in general.

This must not stand.
