So the bottom line is the final oversight is EASA145.
The unintended consequence is as soon as the highly skilled RAF techies get a part 66 licence they will be gone like a rat up an aqueduct.

Don't the highly skilled RAF techies only need a part 66 licence if they are to 'certify' the work?
Is there a UK military version of part 66 yet? EMAR 66 was published some time ago http://www.eda.europa.eu/docs/defaul...s-removed).pdf but that would have needed to be UK-ified by the MAA. I suspect there would have been some debate about the use of a Licence or equivalent competence level but it should have been completed by now.

For years the RAF has been very reluctant to let its technical staff get a civil maintenance licence, mis information was rife both about obtaining and maintaining a maintenance licence.
I can remember lending a techie my British airways licence course notes ( and a copy of the crewrooms question bank ) as no help whatsoever was forthcoming from inside the RAF.
To find that the RAF must now put these guys on a course to get a part 66 licence would seem like a reversal of years of custom & practice.
But it will end in tears for the RAF if they fail to reward those who have worked to get the licence with the market pay rate.
