Dear "rockontommy" I've been doing a bit of digging and as far as I can find out there are only 2 RAF FE's who hold the little brown book with Hercules as a type rate and one of those is still in the air force, the other is a reservist/auxillary (?). Some one out there must know something they aren't telling the rest of us.. .. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />
