Spot on Geoff I was the Chief Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineer at the Royal Commission in Yanbu - and yes a different maintenance philosophy reigned - even back then - been through the spectrum and reflecting. that's all
You do when you've nearly died! Again......LOL and seeing what the regulatory and compliance bods, HSE. MHRA, QCQ think - "Best Practice" seems to be the order of the day.
And the book is in progress - its called Squeaky Dirty and all about people like us, your chaps in REME and our RAF TG5 gods - no forgetting the senior service, scruffy buggers - fond SEE memories Geoff
The first chapter is about me, I'm letting our brothers in arms compile the rest in all its glory, with the odd edit to protect the softies, meek and mild from the Darkest of Military humour - its on one of my Linked in Groups - Ill pop the first pages on the ebme Linked in group so you can have a peek. I was the worst Geoff but I make no apologies for it, instead I celebrate all my faults, evil ways and dastardly deeds - I reckon my mate Greybeard could write a few volumes, people dont realise what weve seen and done my friend
