LOL , so very true , im sure they have an officer in RAF HQ that renames these posts every year, must cost thousands!! Just think of all the name plaques that worshops have to remake. im sure its the same guy that renames sections as well just to piss everyone off !!

Is Dick the cat a descendant of Krusty the cat? that vicious bugger the Met wallahs had at the turn of the Century?
Temporary spotter mode; has 1435 acquired 23's roundel bracket bars and 41's fin tip stripes?
Ace vid but, as the man said, not a mast in sight (sorry Elvis)!

Seem to remember getting served a great dinner by the boys after they lost a bet with us.

I DID suggest the loadie tie everything down before opening the back end...you might notice the p-strops holding the ironing board to the ramp...and lots of paracord...
How are things in the real world?

You are surely talking about the Admin (Eng) Branch. I have been a liney/techie and gloried in the job title of Engineering Technician for 12 years prior to commissioning. I have, however, always marvelled at the way in which the Admin (Eng) Branch officers manage to get the most simple things wrong despite having a massive pool of knowledgable and experienced personnel to learn from.
On the subject of 1435s' Eng manning, from my time on 78, I seem to remember that you need a minimum level to ensure ground defence, something to do with CONOP's and other stuff that LEAN routinely fails to take into account.
'Do not apply just in time rules to just in case organisations'
Great vid BTW
Only 'engineers' were BEngO (who hated being called that - so the name stuck!), JEngO and SEngO. Plus the mysterious OCEng who, (with the exception of the excellent 'Dolly' P**t*n) merely seemed to exist to provide the grit in the bearings of smoothly running squadrons.

I was there when said ironing incident occurred. Lucky they didn't want to film when I decided to play golf off the ramp, might have had some fod implications. Now I remember the moggie, heli trip to vets in Stanley followed by military funeral with flypast (including fat boy albert).

For F3 see 0:26, 1:18, 2:44.
For C130 see 1:38.
For Brintel see 2:29.
I especially like the C130 dissapearing below the mount.
