UK 1986. Newly arrived Gazelle pilot reading Sqn DRO's spies a need for a volunteer to attend a CSRO course. Sees a nearby old and bold Lynx pilot:
Gazelle Pilot: 'What's a CSRO course?
Lynx Pilot: 'Get your name down for that laddie - it's a 2 week Flight Safety Officers course in London. You stay in a hotel and get £25 a day LOA'
Gazelle Pilot (thinks): 'That's the course for me!'
2 weeks later Gazelle Pilot is spread eagled against the wall of castle in Cornwall, wet, very cold and very hungry with a bag on his head listening to white noise having volunteered for a Combat Survival and Rescue Officers course.
