MJR,
as Towers suggested, I deposited my story on this forum sometime around August last year. The thread was started by someone asking how WWW and I got where we are, and should be retrievable by searching.
A very brief precis for you:
1977: joined the RAF as student pilot.
1979: brief career as fighter pilot on Hunters, theoretically on my way to Lightnings.
1980: sanity prevailed; Multi-engine conversion and posting to Hercules at RAF Lyneham.
1983: Command on Hercules.
1987: To CFS to become a UAS QFI.
1987-91: QFI/CFI on Yorkshire UAS, RAF Finningley.
1991: back to Lyneham on the C130
1994-8: Instructor on C130.
1998: Left RAF, joined Virgin on B747-200.
2002: move to 747-400, now over 10,000hrs TT, including over 4000 in command of 4-engined ac.
