These b spellcheckers drive me crackers, I always correct them.

But it is program if in the context of computers, but programme when referring to the animated wallpaper machine. Look there the damn thing has redlined programme, and redlined FFS

I have the “EFTS SCREWROOM” sign from RAF Swinderby… would love to know what that was…

That was were briefings for the “Mile High Club” were carried out

:D:D Resmoroh. IF my dream came true we would find whatever scruffy little Met office you inhabited, determine coffee time, and do a flyby a la Tom Cruise in Top Gun:D:D Don’t forget we nearly flew through the tower at Whatashame one foggy night while feeling for the runway which neither of us saw. There was a rattled voice came up quick saying “77, divert to Manston”

Just shows how low this poor old country has sunk, and what a commentary on the state of our public servants (sic). We are simply treated to PR speak courtesy of out PR PM. Motto, “treat them like mushrooms”

Sorry, I don’t remember any labels, either in English or any other language.
What I do remember is that they were a right pain in the ar5e :D. There was a gas bottle which always dug into one side of you and because of the central harness strap, however you wriggled about the b***** bottle always came straight back to the same place. The water bottle in the pic was Muddle East issue, in the UK we did not have that luxury. :rolleyes:

I was issued with a Jaeger le Coultre nav watch in 1950, we were told they cost £28 and we would be charged £56 if we lost it. We had to change them every two years, or if they became u/s. We had to check the accuracy and if they gained more than 10 secs or lost more than 5 secs in a day, they were u/s and had to be changed. I finished mine off by forgetting to take it off when I went swimming in the very salty Gt Bitter Lake 😮

And we have a long way to go till 1st April !!!

I forgot a vital item, the timer ran for two minutes, the idea being to compensate for the unsteadiness of the aircraft.
How Chichester did it in a single seat open cockpit I just don’t know, I understand he had a hand in revising AP1234, the Air Navigation Manual. I would love to find one of them, we were certainly put through it at 1ANS at Hullavington.
