Nice one. I was at Wyton while it was closing and the LogicStix pavillions were being built. The airfield was still operational and we'd get the occasional PD.
On one occasion a FJ from Marham executed a rather quick overshoot and climb-out (nothing to do with impressing his mates on his ex-squadron you understand
). Everyone was suitably impressed - except some be-nighted Gp Capt blunty who DEMANDED that the SATCO cease this type of flying operation immediately "as people were trying to work"!!! The numpty got exceedingly short shrift from a normally mild mannered man!!!

Haven't seen SNCOs actually on the gate before, but it was certainly the norm at my last unit for JOs to be Guard Cdr (been there, done that!).

Yes its cr@p that SNCOs have to stand on the gate and yes it is being considered that WOs and JOs will be guard commanders

The problem is they are only offering MPGS 14K a year.
They managed to recruit 3 out of the required 47. Are you surprised.
SNCOs are a common site on the gates of Wyton and Brampton.

Hmm, I was aware that MPGS were on a lower pay-scale of some description, but thought that the package as a whole (non-deployability etc) was designed to compensate for it. They have plenty up north in the colder climbs, might be a geographic issue as to where some of our greener bretheren choose to settle after leaving the service.....
