I’m with you Bob. In 10 years of flying Albert I only used the Elsan once.....OK, so on that occasion the ‘once’ was all the way from Colombo to Muscat, which kind of indicates the direness of the emergency!
Since leaving Her Majesty’s employment, and now flying considerably more luxurious chariots, I have only used ‘first class’ once - again in similar circumstances out of Mexico!
Going back to the original story, it must be a XXIV Sqn thing - I remember when a Springer Spaniel left a similar greeting in the new OC24s office....I presume the alleged guilty canine is long departed but maybe the owner is still around and was the guilty party all along! (I can’t remember which of 2 Springer owners on the Sqn it was!)
