Thing,
Good point, the unit I am talking about is a lodger also commanded by an A.C. with 3 possibly 4 Grp.Cpts below him. All these officers either equate to or outrank the Staish where the unit is lodged.
Blimey.. Why? No wonder the budgets through the roof, during my period the Staish was a Groupie and an the station his way.
no experience of now, but work wise the Chinook Puma and VC 10 must be about the same as when inwas serving, you will be following the same specific maintenance programme all be it with a few add ons bunged on them, though one imagines a lot of the maintenance recording is now computerised.
