Full Name  - Christopher  Watson

Squadron Role – Civilian Committee Chairman

Time in the Air Training Corps (ATC) – 2 ½ Years

Civilian Job – Aeronautical Engineer

Brief  History  - I served in the Royal Air Force for 17 years - 1990 to 2007. During my 17 years I worked at RAF Swinderby, RAF Halton, RAF Honnington, RAF Brize Norton, RAF Cosford, RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Leeming and RAF Marham. During this time I have very proudly served on three front line Tornado Operating Squadrons, 617 (Dambusters), 25 & 31. This enabled me to travel the world on both training exercises and out of area operations. To this day I still work alongside the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Mechanical Supervisor with BAESystems.
 
I now feel fortunate to be involved in helping make 1507 (Chester-Le-Street) Squadron an attractive and welcoming place for young people to learn, enjoy and be involved in the fantastic opportunities available to them.

Over the last 17 years I have held positons in a number of Clubs, Treasurer for a local Scouts Group and Committee Member for a Rugby team- This has allowed me to watch my children and others grow in confidence, gain life skills and for them to have fun, learn about discipline and form lasting friendships.
