[just another jocky]

Current AOC, Osby, AM Timo Anderson, AM Ian McNicoll plus self and "Foldingings" were together on 17(F) Sqn in the mid eighties.

And Baggers was on 31 at the time too. Hadn't realised McNut had been on 17(F) before he was the Boss.

New AOC 2 Gp

Looking forward to the new AOC 2 Gp visiting Kinloss in February when the redundancy packages are announced. If this chap is as good as people are saying, I am sure he will be able to soften the blow of the slash and burn policy in Moray.

DFM over & out

[brakedwell]

..and I bet the AOC's never flown with a Samsonite.

Was A Samsonite a shiny truckie?

[Red Line Entry]

Get a grip, DFM. He's a good bloke, but that doesn't mean he can reverse Govt policy!

Where is Steve Hillier off to then?

[iRaven]

Oh do keep up 007...

This was announced in Apr 10:

AIR RANK & COMMAND APPOINTMENTS LIST 3-10
Air Vice-Marshal S J Hillier CBE DFC to be Director Information Superiority in the Ministry of Defence and Air Member for Equipment Capability in October 2010, in succession to Air Vice-Marshal C W Dixon OBE whose next appointment as Commander Joint Helicopter Command has already been announced.

JAJ & 3P

Don't you mean mid nineties?

HH2

[just another jocky]

HH2...hang on, I'll go and check my logbook...nope, definitely 80's.

Baggers on 31 on his first tour before heading off on his F18 exchange, Osby a Fg Off first tourist on 17(F) along with Timo as the QWI pilot, Steve Hillier as (creamy) QFI and yours truly as another Fg Off first tourist. McNut was not on 17(F) during my time except as Boss in 94/95 when I returned to Sqn.

'fraid I don't know the identities of Foldingwings or threeputt.

[Jabba_TG12]

I can understand the "Equipment Capability" part, but Director Information Superiority???

Is someone taking the p*ss?

Someone less cynical than me would think such a post to be an empire growing exercise...

[Neptunus Rex]

I can understand the "Equipment Capability" part, but Director Information Superiority???

Ah, but his PSO has not yet been gazetted. Allegedly, it is AC (Acting Wg Cdr) Julian Assange, Royal Swedish Air Force.

3-Putt and I were certainly there, on 17, in the mid-80s. I was the sqn nav QWI and Timo's back-seater before becoming STAN W in 1987 and 3-Putt spent a lot of the time where his name suggests - playing gowf for the RAF! McNut was definitely there with me when G McL was the Boss and before 'clothears' arrived!

Now which other fg off were you jaj?

By the way, saw another ex-17 Sqn man of that time on Crimewatch recently! The SquIntO, Fg Off AL, now working in forensics!
