50. The last year has seen a reduction of our LS team in
Jordan. The Jordanian Army did not want a replacement for an Army Bandmaster when he finished his tour earlier and the RJAF
similarly asked for a QFI not to be replaced when he finished his
tour in June. At present we have only two RAF LSP in Jordan.

Jordan but an increase in LSP there seems unlikely for the
