Many websites give details of the RFA and many state that the RFA sea staff are Merchant Navy whereas others say they are civil servants. Even some MOD sites seem confused as to what the sea staff are and one states on the homepage that they are MN and later on the same site says they are civil servants.

I've been out of the industry for a while now but can anyone enlighten me as to whether they are MN or CS?

(In my day they were definitely MN)
