Hah, spot on again. My first tour as an LAC had me working for a Flt Lt Nav who had been jiffed into becoming an air traffiker, his first tour was Wellingtons! I take it your Anson must have been a Mk 20 or 21 then?
Anyway we digress, you're absolutely right this should be on another thread but hey ho it's here now. One of my main gripes with Flt Ops is the lack of knowledge, if you tried to get a job in civil aviation at the same level that the RAF recruits it's OpsOs you would be told to bu99er off and go away to get some experience.
I like to be controversial, so here goes. All Flt Ops Officers should be recruited exclusively from within the Service from appropriate Trades/Branches, by that I mean NCA, FOM, ATC, ASM, etc. and at SNCO level.
