Shandyman. Little Miss K is very well thanks.

I am refering to the streaming process now, not XXX years ago when us olduns went thru. sorry if I confused you matey. That gen was from one of the horses mouths at the school. In the old days Doris probably had different ideas.

Hope you're well.

Having worked both on Helicopter and VC10's in the RAF I was suprised when one of our EX Loadmasters turned up on the VC10......... In his service on Helicopters he was responsible for a fair bit and assisted in Navigating etc amongst other things................ On the VC10 they were not even allowed to turn on Aircraft power.................... says something

Chances are he's either fed up with amount of time/conditions away, or he's unfit flying on SH.( neck/back etc).

Straight from the Chinook OCF. Not sure about the Puma. OCF is post Cranwell and Shawbury.
