Re: Question, LAC Nelson Lemar Bardgett, R/160730

Well, because it did not directly say what he was , other that "Stand To" order, I figured I would ask in case I missed something, but with two aircraft exploding, I can just imagine the injuries !!!!

Thanks for the info !!!!

Thanks for that info, so those the "stand to" order mean that LAC N.L. Bardgett was like a military police, security member or just a mechanic or armourer assigned to watch over an armed aircraft ????

Again "Thank You" for the info … Also "Happy New Year" !!!!! :-)
