Glad it wasn't my memory playing up about the short term OCU move!
Thanks again for all the info, very useful.
Nimman, your post looks like a 'cut & paste' of usual published Nimrod history, I really need to clarify if there was such a thing as MOCU, or another seperate unit to MOTU to which the Nimrod joined servive.
Shackmans first post sort of backs up its existence and makes sense, although Rossian says there wasn't such a thing. Maybe there were Nimrod element courses within MOTU?
I'm quite eager to pin this down, but getting nowhere, even with briefest TNA & AHB searches.
I guess I really need to find someone who attended the first Nimrod course!
