Ground Control Operators needed.
As you all know, we are now returning to the Battle of Britain. This means that we can again use Donkey’s excellent ground control software. But we need people to man it!
So we are asking for volunteers. We need at least two members from each squadron so that the duties can be shared around. No one would miss out on flying as the GC stint would be last for about an hour and allow you to fly if you wanted to.
Two people is the ideal number as between the two you can discuss tactics and life’s other problems. Any more than two and you tend to have not enough to do.
An example of rota we would use might be something like this
Flying rota
First wave: 501 & 610
Second Wave: 111, 302 and 64
Third Wave: 615 & 32
GC rota
First wave: 615 or 32
Second wave: 501 or 610
Third wave: 111 or 302 or 64
As you can see this rota system allows you to both fly and man the GC. The option is there that if you man the GC you do not have to fly. Being the GC operator will count as attending the mission.
Training will be given with both the GC software and how to communicate with the squadrons. Further details will be given to those that apply.

I am interested in signing up if you're not afraid of a inexperienced lad like myself!
Seeing the other side of BoB might be a very nice experience!

Sign me up for a room full of WAAFs... an important job that will give our chaps in the air an edge.
The pilot shall be considered to have above-average intelligence and normal (average) common sense.
