Do NCA Crewman only fly on Hercules, C-17 Globemasters and Helicopters...or do they crew VC-10, TriStar, any Nimrods (R1/MR2), Sentinel and/or Sentry?

Cheers 1.4G even if you are a facetious so-and-so!

2nd interview (filter interview) at AFCO done...now awaiting the dreaded OASC!

Big thank you to Crewman Dave on the Merlin static display at Biggin Hill Airshow. Can't wait to get your job!

Dare I suggest .....
 

Maybe you could do better flying "Army" ??
Don't know the current situation re "Non Officer Pilots"
But IMO with your CV you could do better than "crewman"
Which ever way you do it remember one thing -

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always long to return"

:ok::ok:

RogerK - I think TG has been round this loop already, but OASC may well sort that out. More than one NCA applicant has gone to OASC and come out with a pilot slot on IOT.

If you get through the system quickly, I'll let you have my job!!

cheers animo,
I'd love that job! Heart set on Chinook or Merlin. (why do you want to give up that job?)

aa,
still too old to do the pilot thing, although I have recently found out that I can enter and train as NCA, do at least one tour, then there is an option to go pilot after that, as they raise the age of pilot to 32 once you are qualified aircrew. So it's nice to know that there is an option/slim chance.

roger,
I have looked into the army option, but I am in TA at the moment and I am fully aware of the MoD legislation regarding the Army 'digging in' and the RAF 'checking in'! And Leonardo da Vinci was a rather inspirational chap!

Somebody needs a sense of humour...:O

The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. "What is your name?" was the first thing the manager asked the new guy.

"John," the new guy replied.

The manager scowled, "Look, I don't know what kind of a mamby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only - Smith, Jones, Baker - that's all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?"

The new guy sighed and said, "Darling. My name is John Darling."

"Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is..."

I have a massive sense of humour...pretty bad jokes, nevertheless a massive sense of humour. Can't wait to check into Hotel Halton...another joke by the way!

Top Banter, TG. AIDU, work your way out of that :ok:

Green Grass and Hills etc
 

TG
Remember the motto of NCA Aircrewmen on SH:

"Bread is the staff of life for NCA Aircrewmen on SH. The life of NCA Aircrewmen on SH is one long loaf".

cheers aa...
funny how 1.4G has suddenly vanished and we have another chippy personalty to replace him almost immediately (I'm sure that will inspire response, so AIDU...I'm terribly sorry if I've caused offense - no need to reply).

Edit: cheers LB, I'll bear that in mind.

Just don't get caught by your CO mixing a Kitkat and Tuna in a sandwich......:uhoh:

Although I did win the Crewman's 'Most ingredients in a Sandwich' contest on 2 FTS with 15 :}

'Most ingredients in a Sandwich'

Sounds both disgusting and intriguing, WB...what the hell, I'm game!

Tommy


I've been living like this for too long and been shot at one too many times!!

Sound of desperation?...I think someone may be craving attention...

Sell myself short?...I never sell myself short.

Another useful and inspirational post by 1.4G! :ugh::D

My old grandad used to say, 'Tom, how do fish get caught?'...'They BITE, so don't bite and you won't get caught'.

Why don't you go and play with AIDU, you 2 would really hit it off ;)

Tommy, toasted peanut butter and marmalade with pilchards was a favourite.

See PM.

1.4G, I guess you didn't take my old grandad's advice...so, would that make you a dyslexic dwarf - not big and not clever?! Let's see if the fish will get caught again...

Flt Lt Mac, that is the first I have heard of the periodic discontinuation of the WSOp EW and ACO roles. Thanks for the heads up. As FW, I think I wouldn't mind Hercs, but I will be bleating 'Rotary' from the start of training, if I get in. Thanks again!

Best of luck to you Tommy Gun. Just give it your best shot.

Thanks very much Cheesedoff.
