Thanks RA (not a sentiment that others would normally share with you)
I wasn't aware that the Air Force List was available over an insecure net (Airspace) - I am enjoying looking at the fellow chisellers and seeing their seniority and how they 'big up' their postnominals with membership of pay-to-join 'professional' bodies. Perhpas I should join some random body and add meaningless, yet impressive-sounding letters after my name. And I just thought that was the province of retired SNCOs trying to get into the job market...
On a wider issue, it is sad that this list is no longer available in the public domain, security concerns notwithstanding. The Army List has been an invaluable source of family historical research; in future, generations will not be able toa ccess these lists, I fear.
