LEC and the RAF including Air Cadets

[Dave Eds]

Picking up on Chipp's Honington thread, I thought it would be a good idea to have a dedicated airman thread. So who else have we got?

Sounds like JossElan was based at RAF Honington and has now been posted to a different airbase ?? I'll leave him to confirm this

I've seen a Red Élan at the Medmenham married quarters a couple of times - any ideas?

Does making stuff for them count?

Don't forget me.... Flt sgt petezipp 493249 ATC.
From when no Girls Aloud shame
Now promoted to Hawk & Chipmunk on a flight sim.... much safer

Sitting here at Brize, can any of you old timers exert some influence to improve the experience, there is real evidence of Government Austerity drive biting here, and whilst your setting influence if you can find a way of flying my Lotus back to Marchwood idc that'd be even better

[Rambo]

I think those lists should be hierarchical in terms of RAF ranking

Spud, get it sorted old boy

[petezipp]

Not many posts on this one ..... Try this
On holiday went to Canaevon Airport ( yes its still there ) and what have they got there.
A T31 Glider and a Link Trainer gosh that takes me back.

I gave the RAF the best years of my life...correction the RAF gave me the best (9) years of my life so you can stick me on that list right at the top since I was an SAC when I left (Supreme Allied Commander if I remember correctly).

Or was that Senior Aircraftsman, it was a long time ago

[Saltire]

Squadron Acronym Controller?

Sorry, but the whole 'experience' went downhill when I left - could be coincidence but...

Did a stint at Brize, '70 to '72 so I apologise for not taking better care of the place.
