Null,
we did actually 'borrow' some experienced USAF C130 chaps. We had the USAF exchange officer on 47, one Major J.J. Smith. A class act who arranged for some of the USAF Mildenhal Herc det to visit us at happy hours on the squadron.
They brought some of their groundcrew and we always invited ours. This ad hoc arrangement certainly helped us with 'translating' the very poor manuals and helped to solve a lot of problems we were beginning to have especially with the air con/pressurisation and the infamous ramp lock saga. Getting the system to acknowledge that the books might not be the paragons of perfection that they assumed was quite another matter.
