Cillit Bang & Barry Scott

[unclenelli]

However annoying Barry Scott may be, does anyone have any idea about the aircraft he is currently sitting in.

The adverts only show close-up views of it.

Rounder intake than a Jag

What is it?????

[kration]

I think it's a Soko J-22 Orao - a Romanian/Yugoslav collaboration which has more than a passing resemblance to the Jaguar.

[Molemot]

I understand it's a mocked-up L39 from one of the Bond films.

A local boy of about 5 years old went missing in our village and a full blown search including a helicopter was initiated.

After a while he was found in the garden hiding under a bush having become frightened by the commotion.

Police Sergeant "What have you to say for yourself young man?"

Little boy thinks for a while then says "We've got Cillit Bang"

Cue laughter

[CoffmanStarter]

Is Cillit Bang good at removing exhaust plume soot of Tonka rear ends :E

[Field44]

What he needs is Kitchen Gun


Kitchen Gun - The Peter Serafinowicz Show - BBC Two - YouTube

Much more effective and Wills Mum is in it to boot!

I don't think anything is. I know the jet I took to the RAF 75th Review had just come out of the paint shop, and I was ordered to do aerobrake landings.

We erm washed a Puma one evening for an airshow it was going to the next day and found we had no cleaning fluid in stock, several tins of swarfega later we were standing looking at a snot green covered Puma which we agitated with brushes then hosed off....

It came up great but we kept it quiet, though the thing stank of the stuff :O

I was picked to meet the Queen, me.
Any chance of best quality copies?

Thanks, I'll try those.
ZH556 was a shiny new jet. I collected it new from Warton on Jan 27th that year.
I remember that many of the workers came out to see it leave, and I was expected to depart impressively. I remember I had to clear the departure with Manchester Control because it was their airspace over Warton, so I asked for one circuit and a climb to FL330. Ground came back on taxi with "Manchester request your outbound heading" I just replied "Vertical", and got it!

[CoffmanStarter]

Style :ok:

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Downside was that climb toppled the INs, so the next 20 minutes was head-down instruments. You can't get the staff, you really can't.

Still, they must have liked it - I was back next day to collect ZH557.

[Corrona]

this is a good example of thread drift! 'that' advert is incredibly irritating.

[dragartist]

Not sure what went wrong. I was at the 75th do at Marham. I suspect these pics were taken in the build up. Had lunch in a hangar. probably the same hangar I had worked on Victors in. The only photo I have is a distant shot of a 146. they were pretty new in those days.

So what about this Cilit bang stuff- does it do what it says on the tin?

One of my old bosses was a crew cheif on Lord Louis Hastings in the Far East. he told me they had to polish it by hand. so much so that the heads of the rivets were worn away and had to be replaced on a regular basis.

I wonder if we should go back to those days to create jobs for airman. I think the pilots should polish their own jets. particularly the transport guys. that would shut them up from moaning on here about everything!

A friend of mine used to go out with the actor who plays Barry Scott.

We called her Mrs Cillit Bang.

[dctyke]

I would love to lock Barry Scott in a room with the crew room oven and as much cillit bang as he wished. He would be there a long long time............. one wipe and it's gone my arrse! How do they get away with these ads.

[SpringHeeledJack]

one wipe and it's gone my arrse! How do they get away with these ads.

They get away with it by showing in a 2 second burst tiny writing that explains the commercial is a representation of the efficiency of said products and not in real time. Don't worry if you missed it, you're quite normal.

[CoffmanStarter]

Jenkins old chap ... You can't leave it there ... which mount is yours then :ok:

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

The real event was the wettest day in Norfolk ever recorded (and I think the records went back over 400 years). Not even a chopper or harrier could get airborne.
We stood under the wings until about 10 minutes before the car passed. The Queen wisely remained in the car.
No coats allowed, of course. Last time I ever wore that SD hat.


...only 16 more crews to identify!

Jenkins ...

Thanks ... Andover CC2 XS794 32 Squadron :ok:

[CoffmanStarter]

Seems XS794 was a bit of a Show Girl :ok:

Here she is at the 1977 Jubilee air show at RAF Finningley.

XS794 (http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Hawker-Siddeley-HS-748/2159736/&sid=c570111cb523f967bd4328645eb2eeca)

Presumably she was in grey livery at Marham ?

[CoffmanStarter]

Yep ... :mad:

I washed the section Chevette once, and dipped the broom into the top of the container of detergent the fire section had left next to the wash bay.
Worked a treat, then my hands started to burn, so I left the vehicle and went indoors to wash the detergent off. I decided to investigate and had a look at the drum which had the words 'Paint Stripper' on the side.

One wipe and it's gone.

...Lord Louis Hastings in the Far East.
Don't know about the arrangements for His Lordship, but Hastings of a lesser nature were received at Kai Tak by a HAEC Operative with a broom and a large bucket of Gunk (as manufactured by Messrs Radiator Speciality Company of Charlotte NC). The next morning, nursing headaches from the Happy Hours race around Kowloon and clutching our newly overnight run up shirts blue, collar attached, from Samtanis, it always impressed how the exhaust stains on the cowlings and flaps were no more (though usually back by 100 out).
Slosh and the dirt was gone!
