Apart from buy stuff?
There's a job at a huge company here, I want to apply for it but there's no details and no list of experience/qualifications. All info is greatly recieved.

"you will have significant working knowledge of operating within a technical or Programme environment"

Do you have that, though? Your degree is also in law, not technical/engineeringy. If you haven't worked on aircraft programmes, I don't think you would have a chance, tbh.

Yes, but I've been training as a radiographer for the past couple of years and have done QA on pretty much everything (x-ray machines, ultrasound etc). This is technical? It's not aircraft though, there's no chance of doing this unless you work for RR.

I don't think so. All the QA people I worked with (for similar companies: GE, GKN, Thales) were engineering based.

But i don't want to be a misery, I think it is well worth applyng.

You're not being a misery, there's alot more to it then I've been doing.

I'll have a think, accountancy is looking attractive at the moment. I don't want to rush into anything.

I think it's definitely worth a go and wish you all the best.
