Best wishes and good luck to everyone on the Poseidon definitely the best job in the RAF! ( or it was on the Nimrod ! )

Just wondered if long debriefs are still held in the scruffs bar ?
In the old days all the best lessons were learnt there!

(In the old MCT (simulator ) every time we killed a sub our crew used to stand up and sing ‘rule Britannia ‘ - not universally approved as we received criticism for ‘not taking it seriously ‘! )

SLAMs don’t sound very good news!

Is discussion on operating at medium altitudes still discouraged ?To me it’s not really fun if you are not racking the aircraft round at 200ft, MAD traps at night in bad weather was interesting !( I know that you don’t have MAD ! )

One point on operating at medium level to avoid weather - I always thought that it was a lot more comfortable flying ‘below’ the weather - which can be very nasty and turbulent around the UK ( and the med in the winter and changing seasons) at medium level?
