Random,
Many thanks for coming back - that's extremely useful.
So 'engineering and logistics' aspects were run from HQ Air Cadets, which I assume was part of Training Command? Very unusual for a civil servant to be referred to as a Wg Cdr, though.
Follow up questions (sorry) - so did HQATC run the competitions for the eng and log contracts? And does anyone know when (or if) responsibility for these passed to someone else?
Extremely interesting to hear that the Vikings were initially registered with the BGA - I wonder when the aircraft were taken on to the military register, and when they got a CA release and RTS?
Once again, many thanks for the info.
Best Regards as ever to all those sorting through the bits,
Engines
