Null,
I do apologise if that last post of mine was somewhat testy. I had no wish to "have a go", and yes, even in my time as a GE, there were one or two who didn't enhance our standing with the Aircrew at times. By heck, didn't you work some funny shift patterns back then. When I got back on Albert at Lyneham 87 ish as I recall, ALSS worked a simple 12 hour shift, 4 days of days, 4 days off, 4 nights and 4 days off, repeat. It seemed to suit most at the time, and I had never had a job in the service that gave me so much time off. Becoming a GE put me back to work big time. I think from my records I averaged 276 days a year, away on route, for the six or so years I did the job. Anyway, again, apologies if my post seemed a tad heavy, I'm getting on a bit you know !!
