It is 'aircrew' not air crew just as it is groundcrew.

It is 'Air Loadmaster' not Loadmaster; though I grant you the brevet is/was 'LM', and latterly 'RAF' with a crown.

There is no such thing as an aircrew Warrant Officer in the RAF. They are Master Aircrew unless of a suitable vintage to be Master Air Loadmaster - and there cannot be many of those still serving.

I know of a Combat Ready check not getting as far as engine start because the pilot did not know the name of the groundcrew standing outside.

Apart from that:- I'll have a beer as you are clearly already pi**ed!
First post on Pprune as well - tosser.

90/91 pity you were not out in the heat of the desert being injected with all sorts of concoctions; at least then you would have something to whinge about.
