Early 1950's Air Gunner as was.
According to my old Dad (who was one) been an Air gunner on Lincolns or even better B29 Washingtons, a bit of travel i.e. navex to the Med, NCO pay and perks, little stress or responsibility, occasional fighter afil with the odd meteor for fun, even better fun was air to sea firing (could not miss the North sea). Could be a bit draughty in the tail (Lincoln), but a good paperback and flask would perk you up.
Though if Ivan had kicked off their job would become the worst.
