the guys chosen for duty are lucky men - they can come out of the RAF and apply for a job delivering petrol "with previous experience" - apparently pays £45,000 a year
Not so easy. My son, a REME corporal vehicle mechanic is shortly coming out of the army. He has fuel tankers on his licence, as well as just about every other vehicle you can think of, and he looked into this job. Sounds like it's one of those worlds where unless your father and grandfather were tanker drivers, or you have some other influential "in", you can forget it. Closed world, and newcomers are not welcome.
