Come on in, the Water's Fine.
Educated Armourer,
Welcome aboard our Happy Ship ! Everyone who has ever "Taken the King or Queen's Shilling" for service in an Air Force (of whatever hue), or is connected in any way with those who have, must have a story to tell - and this is the place to tell it ! (as PPRuNe spells out near the top of every page).
Admittedly it has wandered far from the rather limited Thread title with which Cliff Nemo (RIP) endowed it seven years ago, but that has been at the discretion of our Moderators, who've always ridden it on a very loose rein indeed and so allowed one of the most popular and long-lived Threads on the website to develop. Long may it continue.
"I feel underqualified to add, but add I will", you say. So carry on - you're in now !
I'm sure I speak for all, Danny.
