I currently have a 254 miles round trip every fortnight and at least once a week.

Thanks

Have you looked at 105 in Edinburgh?

I haven't...do they do the unmanned aircrafts? That seems to be calling out to me as what I am most keen on, although something else IT and intelligence related is also appealing. Thanks, I will go have a look now.

Oh right, yes I have looked at them but I don't think they offer training in MUAVs or UMAVs in general...although do correct me if I am wrong as this would be perfect.

Have a look at 2 Sig Sqn in Dundee/Aberdeen, they do IT/comms with balloons.

Sorry mate you can only do one or the other.

How do you find that? Do you reimbursed for fuel? I would consider it if I was to be reimbursed and the journey wasn't too difficult.

A bit of a nightmare at times, yes I get RESPOD or whatever the hell it's called now. I will emphasise that it's not my nearest unit Per Se but it is my nearest RTC and since that's where I transferred to.......it goes in the 'role' part of the question I s'pose.
