On my way to meet a Typhoon...
March 31, 2009
I'm going to Cosford in a few weeks- I'll work on the specialist stuff so I can then start working on an active airfield doing anything from maintaining radars to controlling the ground support systems for a Typhoon aircraft. Pretty good aren't they?

The RAF. It's a gas

The next three weeks are very different! We’re now in Regiment
training learning how to deal with CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nucleur) warfare and doing proper battle exercises. Had a good first day with CBRN. We had to learn to get our respirators on within nine seconds. You really want to get this right when you're out on manoeuvres.
White water RAFting

Weekend in the Welsh mountains doing a load of team exercises but by far the best laugh was the RAFting (sorry). Some of the gang reckoned they felt the adrenaline rush. To be honest I can’t feel anything now, I’m still numb with cold.
