the Easiest solution is to get documentation from RAF on trade Structures as it may have changed since my day the Australian Specialists did courses in UK and USA  

Answer 3

Unless the RAF have any, then YES

Answer 4

You can become a Weapons Technician in the RAF (Armourer), but bomb disposal is a specialised post within a large trade. As an armourer, you could do many tasks from putting bombs and ejection seats on jets to servicing rifles and pistols in the small arms bay.

We do have a bomb disposal team but you wouldn't be able to spend your whole career in that one post.
