Sounds like a tale I heard of some junior rank who worked in an office and was ordering some more stationery, put the code down as UH instead of UB or something along those lines and ended up having a light utility chopper being delivered.

I honestly can’t remember if it was in the UK or States but the other tale reminded me of it.

One of those books that can be re-read many times and still just as gripping every time.

Sad news indeed, the phrase will live on as will his memory.

Time for the Harriers one last time to overfly runways and motorways to melt/blow snow and ice away!!

That has been tried and it transpires that after the ice was melted it quickly froze and turned to sheet ice, as a result taxiing back was a little tricky.

I don’t know when or where but I’d love to find out though.

Clearly Jane has been a good girl if Santa has come early, great news and thanks for the update.

Eh, and why practice deck handling if there are no decks in the armed forces?

Doubt they’ll be used for much else as the other fast jets have very different configurations for stuff like engine changes. The old jags are currently used for engine training.

Sorry when is it I’d love to go :rolleyes:
