As a complete aside, reminds me of using meths on a Typhoon to cut down the paint & add a knot or two.

Great minds think alike – or use the same source??

And have you seen the price of today’s SD hat – £265!!! Ten times the price of my first car. Give me a Beret.

Good for a laugh?

Good old Google.

So – both the General & the Group Captain are incorrect!!

b. Forage Cap. The forage cap, which is an optional extra at own expense, is worn tilted to the right so that that front edge is approximately 25mm above the eyebrows and the side edge is approximately 12mm above the right ear. The material is blue/grey worsted barathea of standard styling for wg cdrs and below; for gp capts and air officers the cap is piped in Minerva blue. The forage cap is never worn with CS 95.

Yes – 2 officers in the left photo & one in the right also.

So – how should it be worn – & since when??

Can’t seem to identify the Vickers Guns in the Hart that we defended Cranwell with?

Or were they on the Hind??

And, of course, take off the top wing & you’re Hurricane converted.

It felt quite natural!!

Thanks – given that it’s 70 years since I last flew them, memory’s a bit faded!!

Paracutes?? Funny – can’t recall any!!

Troops? Oh, yes – had to contain one’s bladder to avoid trampling on 33 bodies spread all over the floor!!

Look at this wonderful sunrise (over the Med), I called. SNORE!!

Belly laniding? Only one I recall was at night at Ballykelly. NOT to be repeated. We had to walk over to the Tower to warn them that there was something blocking the runway!!
