4mastacker,
welcome . Another former member of the Fairford flat Earth Society ! My recollection of the Sheepskin trips is that they were single loadmaster trips as were most of our pax trips in those days. We were not brought into line with the shiny fleet until later. No WRAF loadmasters on the 'K' until very much later. I was on a committee that discussed their introduction to the 'K'. My attitude was simply if they could do the complete job then no problem but if it was just a PR stunt then NO.
