Bettsie,
have you tried asking the new SEngO about all this?
Might have more luck!
Try posting this request on e-goat as well. PPRuNe is pretty good but e-goat probably gets more traffic from the likes of me and you. Theres some good guys over there who know what their talking about.
Don't be afraid to mention you work on one of the RAF's better transport Squadrons as well.
