Hello Andy and Mikkel

My input:

RAF RNoAF ex naval ranks:
G/C Oberst (mostly Oberst)
W/C Oberstløynant (Mostly Ob.ltn. but more rare Obsltn)
S/L Major (Mostly Major or Maj.)
F/L Kaptein (Kapt.)
F/O Løytnant (Lt. or Ltn)
P/O Fenrik (Fenr. and sometime Fnr)
F/S Vingsersjant (V/sjt. or more modern V/Sjt)
Sgt Sesjant (Sjt.)

Greetings from Norway
Fine weather to day, realy a taste of summer

Knut
