BZ for the boys in cyprus but i will stand corrected if these amazing bunch of engineers arent servicing a civilian airframe with no fighting gagets radar etc....(in the sunshine)
Take a leaf out of the Small ships flights book who keep an old temperamental airframe flying whilst the workshop bounces around on the high seas, oh and with 10 men, sometimes less?
RAF are 80000 strong and pack a similar weight punch to the Navy with 40000 personnel. Unfortunately the Brass are looking at bang for bucks!
(I have met a few SWO's in my time and i think these men need putting to work.)
