Nothing wrong with just being groundcrew. I visited the engine bays at both Honington and Marham on a number of occasions.
Were you at Marham just before the engine repair transferred to RR as part of ROCET.
Marham was always extremely busy as you will know.
Did you meet any of the reps there. Initially we had 3 reps there as with the early TTTE. Honington had 2 initially but we went to one rep per station later on.
