With respect Cazatou, you will have been selected for a Captainship on 32 Sqn from a very small pool of candidates. The role of 32 Sqn (The Royal Squadron) being what it is.
Surely then, a Detachment Commander and "Authority in Theatre" would have been selected from, perhaps, an even smaller pool.
I'm thinking that the AT world has a larger 'pool' to select from than the SH (SF) world.
