Time as a G.E.
Smudge my boy, as I did two stints as a G.E. with the first being 77 to 83 along with other such people as our own Eddie Botham and then dragged back kicking and screaming from Abingdon for a second stint 90 to 94 to play in the GW1 until I departed the mob, we probably did especially if you are the follicly challenged Smudge I remember. All told doing one third of your RAF career as a G.E. can't be all bad can it!
