Your version was probably the rationale that 148 used to adopt it tho'.
But having said that, who am I to argue with their remotenesses at HQAC who could not possibly make a mistake in their training manuals!
Can't argue with that.
Yes I remember the yellow/orange handbooks; they were hardbacked and were for 1st Class, Leading and Senior Cadet training to which was added Staff Cadet just before they became blue paper back manuals.
As to HQAC staff being a bit 'remote' I have to agree; I tried to correct the books in several places (even visiting them when I was on my Senior Officers course at Newton) and they didn't seem too bothered by the innacuracies; I once found a mistake in the training manual for air rifle shooting and told my my Wing Ad O who was a retired Wingco Rock; (it was a mistake transposing 'mils' for 'deg') and he agreed but even when he told HQAC, we never did get it corrected!
