Yes, demand appears to have been a surprise - I always thought that David Cameron's publicly stated estimate of how many there would be issued was way too low.
Last heard, I did not hear that the first two groups had been 'finished' - far from it.

It always baffles me however when it takes HMG so long to strike and award these campaign medals which in my opinion should have been awarded in 1945. Bomber command springs to mind straight away as also being neglected. A casualty rate only surpassed by German U Boat crews and they went unrecognised for 60+ years. Shocking.
