We’ve now got four of our guys signing up to go through your OTU.

Vortex - Signed up on WhatsApp
Viper - Need to get signed up on WhatsApp
I’m just wondering whether it is possible to change our usernames on the forum to the correct format (EAF79_T_name)? I’ve run out of e-mail addresses to sign up with!!! I have also posted events on our Facebook page for people so that they are aware of the EAF Flying Nights of Mondays and Thursdays from 19:30BST.
At the moment we’re still flying with 79 tags so that we keep Biggin Hill going and still have access to Watchfield.
I have never experianced a joining of this kind, so I don’t know if any special dispensation will or have been given by HQ.
SOP is that trainees belong to the “OTU Sqd” (hence EAF_T_Callsign) until they get their wings. After that they get reassigned in accordance with their wishes.
That’s fine, are the admins able to change the forum usernames? Like I say, I have no more e-mail addresses to sign up with. I can create one if I need to, but if the username can be changed it may be easier. I was under the impression that there would be an EAF79 created once things had progressed to that stage
~S~
Just to let you know I’ve signed up on SoW with a new user - EAF_T_OD_ and submitted a joining request through the squadrons panel. I still have my 79_OD so I can keep Biggin Hill stocked up. I’ll get Phil to change Biggin Hill to EAF once we’re all signed up.
Viper might need a new callsign as we already have a Viper in 51 (though not active in a long time, what does 51 say?), but the rest of you that have signed up have a new callsign now (and I have removed the other accounts, I think), and given trainee rights.
Thank you for that. I’m not sure he’ll want to do that. Does the different squadron number not differentiate enough? He sounds pretty distinctive…being from the Bolton area
I’ve just been working on an updated signature. (I need to do it one way or another, my current one is from about 2006!) I was wondering if it was ok, please see below! It’s not final - I think it still needs some work and I want a Hurricane with NV markings rather than SD but as a general outline I think this could be what I am aiming for. Is there anything that I would need to include from the EAF perspective?
