Cat 5 Question

Trying to find out if damage categories have changed any time over the last few (will, probably 30) years. The reason is I got an e-mail from a mate who is ex-RAF but been out a long time (would ask t'Lad but it's tricky getting hold of him sometimes):-

'Started talking to a guy who claimed to have flown in the RAF. Something was wrong. I asked him how he would enjoy flying a Cat 5 plane. He said he didn't know modern categories for aircraft (much younger than me), but how many engines did this category have?

I'm an old fart and perhaps Cat 5 doesn't mean scrap these days.
Could you or X throw some light on this?'


Sounds like a rock-solid Walt to me, but if someone can confirm the Cat thing I would be grateful.
