Blimey Truck, when I was serving on the even the Winchweight were not allowed to put power on and they were crew...
'twas an odd situation as we had a loadie I served with at Odiham posted onto the Ten, he was reduced to asking us to put power on for him which considering he had come off the Chinook ( picking up a gong in the Falklands ) and I think Puma before that. They were responsible or tons of stuff on rotary aircraft and were reduced to sitting down by the aft bog and ticking his pax check lists...
Ever such a nice chap and I think he escaped back to the real world for a loadie eventually.
