AEF102? Same fitters course as me!

Basic was at Hereford in March 85. We were the first aircraft trade YTS to join the R.A.F. because they didn't know, if after spending 8 months doing basic and trade training, whether we'd stay in after our year was up.

Then AEM 93 at Halton.

I think my fitters course was AEF 102 (my memory is not what it used to be)

I remember arriving at my first posting, ASF at Colt and after a couple of days of not being allowed to do anything, i asked my Chief why i wasn't allowed to play with the Jags. His reply was "In the real air force you have to go through basic and then trade training before you can work on aircraft". I explained i'd done that. That's when i found out he thought i'd walked into a job centre and they'd said "Here's a uniform, go and be an aircraft electrician" DT_Xtremez_26:
