Digging myself into a hole - QR 989(4). Ignorance is no excuse. In a previous job somewhere in Wiltshire I was twice redressed by members of the green suited master race. Apparently, as an administrator (according to the redress) it is s was/is my job to tell them whenever a change was made to an admin AP/JSP or QRs. Their rationale being they were too busy undertaking "primary" tasks and thus unable to aquaint themselves with any regulations never mind changes. Score: Me 2, Aircrew 0.
That said, I would argue that the regualtions, per se, are fairly easy to find (a quick search on Defence Intranet for example) but in some cases hideously difficult to interpret.
I hope the end result was Rupert & Tarquin being told to feck off and come back when sober etc!:raf:
