“Just” a rigger. As in “Just” a pilot??? Or “Just” a bloke with no distinction because he did his job without recognition, unlike Wing Commander X, who bagged Jerries and got his name in all the papers?
I dislike the lack of recognition that the engineering side of the war got in comparison to the flyboys. It seems that you ought to wander around at a historic aircaft workshop FIDO so that you can see the work that goes on. Without the “simple erk (or) rigger” etc, we’d be looking at sheets of expensive metal stacked in a hangar.
Cheers,
C6 (Engineer and Pilot)( but not simple).
These were the dealers words not mine my!, as this in his eyes helped reduce the price from his perspective.
I wont waste time answering the rest of your post as i find it quite insulting.
