Which reminded me of a Nimrod sortie to Gibraltar where a fast jet member of the TWMR was joining the flight as pax. On leaving operations he said to one of the crew, "Sergeant, those are my bags." To which the crew member answered, "Righto, sir."
On arrival in Gib, the jet jockey enquired as to the location of his bags.
"In Ops at St. Mawgan the last time you pointed them out to me, sir." Was the reply.
