A couple of years later the subject job title could have changed to 'OC Eng Wing' or Wingco Eng depending on the fashion of the day.

Hi Longer ron and to Nil Orifice, I think we've arrived at the answer. I recall before it became Eng Wing, it was technical Wing and before Ops Wing, we had Flying Wing!

Therefore, I think Senior Technical Officer wins the prize.
