Hi Skycop, just this morning recieved the info pack relating the job as air observer,based at Wattisham,includes the programme of selection aptitude tests at Cranwell etc.Methinks lots of serving police might already be lining up also Army Air Corps bods.Maybe the 22 to 24 K on offer is a bit below a normal P.C.s wodge so maybe a bit more attractiv to a squaddy,or ex squaddy like myself.Anyway I will give it some thought this w/end,and you may be correct about your x/ponder thread. Bye for now
