    Handy resource - doubly so as I suspect 3 Wing will become *very* popular when Series 9 touches down....

    "Gunlayer", that's an unusual term for the gunner/observer...not one which I had encountered before, at least not among airmen! I assume sort of migrated from the surface Navy....I guess it sounded more prestigious than "gunner"...

    Yep, definitely a wet navy term that migrated in - mere gunners do all sorts of menial labour, but gunlayers are important people who get to point the gun....

    That works, status-wise, even if it doesn't quite make sense!

    Lots of "meaty" stuff in that Rob.
    Will have to spend some time later to digest it all.
