Re para 2 of post #25. There are a number of specialist hospitals (in many countries) who cater for these persons!

Had same thing as well. BUT on one occasion I got a page (I’m on AOL) that said words to the effect that the Key site had been informed. From that I assumed it was the Key site transmitter that had gone Tango Uniform, and not my receiver ditto!

That – I would have thought, in all humility – would have brought tears to the eyes of even the stoutest soul!
The sooner somebody comes up with the real purpose of this imbranglement then the sooner we shall be able to close what is becoming a lewd and suggestive thread. Not, you understand, that I am against those in principle provided they are well, and tastefully, done – and we can get them past the Mods!

Tony,
Current spelling of that famed location (according to a recent BBC South TV caption) is ODIUM.
Is there no end to this sort of idiocy?

Re Pagen01’s Post #4 (para 3).
Now I don’t know anything about the hardware aspects of the Swift – be they good or bad. But I was, at one stage, an Airman Met Man at Waterbeach. The Swift Sqn was having troubles with the beast. Mike Lithgow came up to see if he could help. This was not said in my hearing, but was relayed to me on the “Jungle Telegraph”. Lithgow was reputed to have said “There’s nothing wrong with the aircraft. The problem is that the bog-standard Sqn pilot is just not good enough to fly it properly!”. I wonder how many ex-Swift pilots became CAS’s (or similar!). Food for thought.

But to be horribly historically practical, the whole Rhodes (and Dodecanese) shambles was yet another of Churchill’s badly planned, poorly resourced, amphibious ‘flights of fancy’. And yet another amphibious military disaster. Remember Gallipoli, Dieppe, Norway, etc? All Churchill’s ideas. He might have been a great wartime leader, but an amphibious assault technical expert he was NOT!!! Good job the Americans kept him out of OVERLORD!!!

I was posted to the Mob Met Unit HQ at 38 Grp, Odiham. It was decided that I should learn about helos (in general). Whilst doing some of these ‘familiarisations’ (we ‘dropped’ a Pak howitzer on SPPTA on one notable occasion!!) I enquired, casually, about the Belvedere (this was long before Chinooks!). The more elderly of the aircrew (who had obviously been and done Belvederes) erupted into the sort of language that the delicate souls on this forum would not like their maiden aunts to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!
