Dependents
Thank you ancientaviator62 for enlightenment on this topic, I should have guessed the same rules applied for all the transport force. As for the Bahrein incident I have no memory of it, but that is probably more of a comment on my memory than on what you write! The affair I described took place in early '76, so quite possibly the same character was involved but that would depend on knowing the other date.

As a civilian, working for an other Government Department, I have enjoyed trips out of Coltishall in a Chinook, a trans Scotland trip in a Sea king from either Kinloss or Lossimouth (can't remember which, but we ended up on a hill South of Oban), and a trio of Nimrods, from Kinloss to the Azores, for a tasking, being dropped off at Glasgow airport on the return leg. No steps available at Glasgow, so had to go out of a door at the back on a rope ladder from memory. Happy days, and a privileged position to be in for sure.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Crikey Tezzer, at your age you should be able to jump. I admit I used the starboard door to fool the 'enemy' when we did an intruder exercise.
