Congratulations to Ade and co of 201 Sqn for winning the Aird Whyte Trophy this year and proving themselves by far the better of the only 2 crews that were entered in the competition. Writing as a member of the opposition who couldn't even find the second submarine:hmm: , i have to admit that the best team won.

You were very lucky to get your hands on the trophy though as we couldnt even find the key to the cabinet :confused:until 15 minutes before the presentation.

Hopefully you guys will be coming over to 120 again to take our Fincastle trophy away in June.

Trotter Sir
Don't be a chimp! We won it fair and square! And and as for the cabinet , it was the wrong trophy (prior preparation and planning etc)... although if you want to offer more? But then again thanks for the beer, shame about the number of yella and green badges present - poor losers?!
All the best Guernsey's Own
BTW Well done Ade et al:ok:

Congratulations on second place though, in face of stiff competition. (oh wait a minute... only two crews?)

Put it this way, the det isn't going to put any pressure on JPA.
It's during the last week of JMC and ends the weekend of VPI RDV40!

Roush,

Thanks Santiago.

Good luck 201, and good luck to the far more important social crew. Keep that bar open.

With the present serviceability rate, Guernsey were lucky to get airborne, let alone get a submarine, unless of course, it was all done in the MCT
As an aside - who got the detection?
An old quote
"The function of the Dry Team is to ensure the accurate, safe, and timely arrival of the Wet Team, to the area of possibility"
So, was this all done in the Sim to remove the the element of luck?
Closest a best ever 206 crew got to winning the Aird Whyte,was when walking past the Sim on the way to the Mess - thanks Boss! - can't mention the name - I will get fined a bottle of Port - his 'favourite crew' qualified his choice by pigging it big time!

Well, the wet team found the SSN... I blame the dry team if they couldn't find the diesel... ;)

> i have to admit that the best team won.

Hear, hear. They had by far the better-looking Nav 2 for a start. Congratulations Vix and the rest of 201/9... best of luck in June.

Did 40 who (R) not put a team forward or was it "flown" on a weekend?

Desparately searching for my patches so I can swap sides as needed:O .

Mr Trotter, you might have come second but the other team only managed second last. Well done.

Oh, really. How about Kinloss 92, Comox 97 and Australia 98, or were they just figments of my imagination! It's not the best squadron that wins the
Aird-Whyte, but the best crew on the day.

Well done 201/9, and best of luck for Fincastle 06.
