Second tour bods - crewing up for the second time

[Steve Smith]

Hi,

From my experience of 218 Squadron, 2nd tour skippers crewed up at OTU and followed the usual OTU - HCU - Squadron route. Regarding other crew positions, the squadron had a few 2nd tour airman posted directly onto the squadron. These were usually to fill the role of section leaders.

But the norm was, especially on 218 the same route as the pilot, OTU - HCU - Squadron. A lot could change in between tours !
