Morning Gents ...
I'm so pleased we're able to capture some pics and tales from the very early days of the K ... It's really important IMHO
Aeroid ...
I'll ping you an eMail this morning with a guide on pic handling/posting on PPRuNe

aeroid,
I remember Dean P one of the Navs on the course telling me he was so bored that he attended the Allison engine course and passed !

Dean P
No one could work out why a nav had been put on an engines course so I recall that we all contributed to his final exam.
Ref your query about ALM training I seem to recall that they went on a separate course at Pope AFB then met up with the rest of us later. On the pilot flight training we just carried a "scanner" whose sole job down the back was to carry out scan checks.

aeroid,
according to my log book I first flew with you when you were a captain on March 24 1971 'Changi-MCT'. Day into night. Does the date tie in with your log book ?
I always had the impression that Dean P. just 'tagged' on to those doing the Allison course so as to see a bit more of the USA !

aeroid,
Funafuti is my guess. Pics of the place in earlier threads.
MPN11, your pic is very evocative of 'K' ope in colder climes !

Aeroid ...
I'm just having a look behind the scenes to see what might have gone wrong last night with your pic ... I'll drop you an eMail shortly as I have a feeling you have quite a few stunning pics of a 'young' RAF Albert
Best ...

Come on MPN11 ... you can't leave us guessing like that ... which Perspex Tower was it then ?
I have a feeling we may have just started the equivalent of 'Where's Wally' (forgive me Aeroid) ... with 'Where's RAF Albert'
