OK Harry we've been crewed together for you're entire tour out here. We will be flying all our ops in this airframe. Now there are a couple of specific mods I need to brief you on. First, you're front co-pilot/gunners cockpit is now equipped with a Martin Baker Zero Zero bang seat. Second, this Black & Yellow handle is my command ejection lever ... I'm sure you can now join the dots on what will happen should we encounter a potential Escape and Evasion scenario. Any questions ?

Staff, I'm a little scared. As I walked past the doorbell thingy, a red light started to glow and I'm sure it said "Good morning Dave".

And another thing Capt Wales ... if you run out of ammo and offensive stores ... Low Level Mooning is not a recognised form of tactical engagement

This is for real now, Wales. I usually say you'll need to be offensive in everything you do, but you seem to have got that hacked already.

Ok and as you see we can select multiple magnifications on the weapons delivery screen, see that's 10x.... 20x.... 50x..... Ohhh errr... we appear to be looking across the apron into the WRAC's showers....... How do we bring up 100x magnification?

Capt Wales ... a signal just in from your brother ... it reads ... "If God had intended the Army to fly he would have painted the sky green".

The producers of "Man vs. Wild" consider a spin-off.

That's an in-theatre mod. We've hooked some tannoy speakers up to an mp3 player. Your choice of tunes includes

Ride of the Valkyries (obviously)
Rock the Casbah
I don't like Mondays

and your grandad's favourite,

A little number by The Cure
