Like ninthace above, I had to attend an early computer course at RAF Newton, as I had been given the job of 'computer manager' on the Sqn at Aldergrove. However, this was run by the RAF Police, and was on 'computer security'. However, it was all based on the BBC Computer (remember those?) and early Commodore machines - and even better the lectures (!) were all done using OHPs, and mainly consisted of ensuring you switched them off at night and tied them to the desk or put them in a cupboard to prevent theft. When I asked about proper security measures - we were already using windows based desktops llinked to an internal network and under a constant threat from the various factions in NI - there was a very large silence from the WO lecturer, before he asked what a network was as he didn't understand the question. Even better he didn't know the threat as he had never been to NI, and as for passwords...........!
No one else from the Squadron attended again.
