My "own illustrious career"? I have never served with the Royal Navy (although we did have RN Pilots on 32 Sqn)- let alone on a Carrier.
PS Were you aware that Shakespeare used "Illustrious" as meaning "Dull". Perhaps he meant "not lustrous" ?
PPS My one and only Accident was a CAT 3 birdstrike in 1966 -NOM. Teach's you not to fly on a Saturday morning even if you are behind the task!!
PPPS You cannot have a "Group Station Flight Safety Officer" which is what "Group SFSO" would mean. My Post was FS1 HQ 1Gp.
PPPPS During the 10 Months I was there we had 14 Board and Unit Inquiries in progress at the same time - perhaps "Patience" was, understandably, wearing a trifle "Thin" at that time.
Now, would you like to hear about the BOI's during that time which were reconvened after their original findings of negligence were thrown out as total rubbish which ignored the evidence?
