1972, 70Sqn were operating several Hercs and Argosys out of Akrotiri with
ONE JENGO and FltSgt working
days. If we needed a Red/Green signing out of hours we took the F700 to the
'Station Duty Eng Officer' and explained the problem.
1998, BLSS Lyneham operating Hercs with a Flt Sgt and JENGO on
every shift, a JENGO and SENGO on days and, of course, OC Eng looking after A and B line.
The only thing that did not increase in this time was the ratio of tradesman to aircraft.
