Smuj I was indeed associated with Snoopy and had many happy times on her. The operating crew airframe were indeed drawn from squadrons as a posting which I unfortunately did not get. I was flying Snoops when I came back from Oman till I went back to mainline although I did fly her when on the squadrons. The Engineer and Loady were both Engineers. Manned down the back by Met research flight and maintained by civvy engineers.
