For example, was each crew aware of the training they required and, say, a monthly meeting would be held for the five of them to decide how to fit the training into whatever flights they were due to carry out.
Certainly at Marham we had to do Target Study (or whatever it was called that year) studying the ‘War Plan’ for Tankers.. This involved going in the ‘vault’ which was a kind of huge safe in the middle of the Ops Block building which gave the crew unparalleled opportunities for playing ‘kierki’ all morning without the risk of being disturbed.
