Actually TWCU stood for Tornado Weapons Conversion Unit,
or To Work Continuously Unrewarded………. for those of us that were there 😉

How those Twikyu Lineys slaved to win the cold war for Blighty with their heroic actions on the beaches of Sardinia, the bars of Macrihanish and the pubs of Thetford. Their bravery on the fields of bunging and blanking and whilst yellow peril emtying will not be forgotten. We salute the fallen man A’s and B’s of the Death Camels from Hell, taken from us whilst undertaking heavy surfing in the Chase and we lament the passing of “Downtown 45″….
sadly now just a Pongo Tank park.

What say you Bloodnock ? 🙂

or one last interpretation of the letters TWCU was Tornado Washing and Cleaning Unit…… which came about after a lot of back seat jollies for vip’s on friday afternoons, with the aircraft needing to be washed on nightshift the night before. it got so bad we had cloth badges made up (i still have mine!) and sewed them onto our overalls much to the amusement of the wing commander, but not the flight sergeant!

Surfing in the chase…. now that brings back memories… i still want to jump up as soon as i hear ‘i get around’ by the beach boys. rallying cars across the battle area at barnham, and the block parties/barbeques….. happy days!
