Me too dook! My very first tanking sortie, the guy leading it explained the proceedure in the briefing. Told me about the pod and it’s lights and how not to look at the basket! Away we went to join the tanker! He sat behind me to watch and all he said was “ Three o’clock” when I missed the first time! Attacked it again and the call was “Six o’clock”. Next attempt, connected and started to refuel! In later years one had to do a course at Marham before you were allowed anywhere near a tanker! And they call it progress!
