RN Hovercraft 'drivers'....pilots or helmsman?
The funny thing about this "argument" is that the words "pilot" and "helmsman" are believed to originate from the same medieval Greek word "pedota" .....

Hovercraft Navs
I was a PO(RP1) on the Interservice Hovercraft Unit which became the RNNHTU - I was a Hovercraft Navigator & also the Hovercraft Navigators Training Officer, the course was run by the Navigation section HMS Dryad and all Navigators were fish heads & not ACMN.
Two of my former colleagues were attached to the hovercraft unit as navigators , they were very definitely Royal Navy Aircrewmen !
