2port,

If you hadn't grabbed that moniker,it was the name I would have picked when I joined in 2010.

The late great George Brown ( Hercules for years - from No. 3 Course in '67 ) always called me 2 port from when we were both young lads on 48 because that was my reply whenever a co-pilot carrying out MCT asked for the drift.

I went through Finningley on 353 ANC from 1987-88, with many happy memories. Flying as a Nav student on the JP was great fun - Bill Brandie was an absolute gent, without whom I would not have passed the JP phase. I do remember the instructional techniques of another pilot - when I made an error, it was followed by a thump to the side of my helmet. I remember thinking why don't I pull the yellow/black handle to get away from him. Did that happen to others ?? . After Finningley I was streamed Group 2 onto the Hercules & VC10 to retire after a happy 22 year flying career.
