Lots of good stuff posted, thanks to all concerned I have a much better picture now and a much expanded view; for instance, I never knew there was any such animal as a Radar Observer. I remember in my time as "an 'orrible boy entrant" at St. Athan there was a Squadron Leader medical officer in sick quarters (a rather temperamental gentleman) who wore an observer’s brevet and, I also remember once when transiting Sharjah sighting a Trucial Oman Scouts officer sporting similar. I have a hazy recollection of seeing a couple of others, but the details evade me now. Fantastic response – PPRuNe showing a good face.
