    DCAE Cranwell’s main task was to provide Phase 2 initial specialist training for all RAF Engineer Officers, and to prepare them to take up their first productive appointments. My job as a 'Burnham Lecturer' provided the management skills input to the engineering officers' training. It was a wonderful job and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately, as a result of defence cuts, the contract ended.
