"Humble Sootie"

Line Unicorn. Mate, there is no need to feel humble about being a "sootie". There is also nothing "exalted" about being aircrew. Truth is we all are/were just doing our jobs and that is the fact of it. As for starting a jet engine "being just like flicking a light switch", whomever wrote that never started a Derwent in the old Meteor. Stuff up with it and half the base would know. Don't know if you are still swinging the spanners, but if you are keep it up, those "exalted" aircrew need you.
