So I'm in the process of joining th FAA as an aircrewman. I've read on the royal navy website and the pdf files that they provide and it says that aircrewman, unlike pilots or observers, can only serve on merlin helicopters (either HCF or ASW). However, I have been in contact with an aircrewman...

If you have any questions on the ASW Aircrewman branch please post them here. I can't guarantee that we will be able to answer all questions but we'll certainly attempt to. Please use all the usual resources available first, but we appreciate not all the answers are out there on...
Myself, and some other Aircrewman have been tasked with putting together a presentation on "the history of the Aircrewman branch"After many hours of searching, and a trip down to the FAA museum, we still have minimal information on the whole subject.Any help would be appreciated, whether...
