I am quite happy to be referred to as a fitter or a mech, after all engineers are the
s who sit in a nice warm office, have no idea what an aircraft looks like from the inside, and promise '8 for the morning' which was always supplied by the efforts of the Mechs and fitters. It should also be remembered that Chief Tech is the most technically qualified rank in the Royal Air Force, so there!
Loved every minute (mostly)
