From the RAF website.
" Air Commodore I J Sharrocks CBE to be promoted Air Vice-Marshal and to be Air Officer Commanding Number 22 Group in November 2025, in succession to Air Vice-Marshal I J Townsend CBE whose next appointment has been previously announced."
Are we running a book on what this one will ban or screw up?
As an Air Commodore, he was head of flying training.
Right then, ACTO31 replacement please! 
I mean, that went wellā¦
I told him as much when he was on here last year blowing his own trumpet about his ābraveā decision to can car parking and his subsequent failure to make any apology for the mess that decision caused.
Remember that heād only respond to anything on here if you had insulted him.
It was almost clockwork. You threw an insult his way and heād appear defending himself not 5 minutes later.
Actually became quite a useful way to get information.
Like Beetlejuice.
Already started the email?
To be explicitly precise, his first ever post on here was to defend his courage. In a thread about the down-fall of a whole region. An entire thread full of CFAV crying out for help RE South West Region, at what was a dire time. Loads of points he could have responded to. But what made him create an account and reply? Someone suggesting he has no courage.
According to a couple of my higher level RAF mates, heās a good geezer.
I hope thatās true, a decent Commandant and a decent AOC? Monsieur Ambassador you are spoiling us.
Without wishing to do the rain dance, hasnāt every single appointment to this benighted organisation and itās further hirachy since Babs (or whoever the hell she wasā¦) been greeted with āoh this is great, my mate in X formation says theyāre the mutta nutsā¦ā?
Isnāt the grim truth that, like the Army, anyone who had the strategic vision and the ability to drive through serious organisational change to the RAF left long agoā¦?
Its a bit like football managers ā¦
One gets the sack, another is appointed ā¦all the pundits say he/she is a great appointment and perfect for the club etc etc ā¦ then they are sacked again a few months later!
ā¦and repeat! 
Well, much better than someone saying: āUh oh, they were only promoted to minimise the damage they could do!ā
Precisely. It was a text book example of how not to do leadership.
I genuinely hope he has learnt from his experiences here, but the attitude we all saw on this forum would suggest he wonāt.
With his new, more senior powers, I think CAB is planning on completely banning Car Parks across the RAF due to the dangers they hold.
i suspect what he learnt was donāt deal with volunteers/CFAVs as they will not only ask āwhyā when told to jump, but give valid, well thought out and even evidence based reasons why jumping is not a justified instruction given the fall out
