There I was at 39 feet over central Coral Sea, 12 kts TAS and we're dropping fast ...oh now we're going up....no down again!(sea state 4) It's a typical May evening in a pussers war canoe-- hotter than a Sea King Obs doing loadlifting in the tropics! (Cos Fleet have done another DCEX and dropped all the aircon off line!)
But that's neither here nor there. The night is moonless over the GBR today and blacker than the local islanders. But it's 2004, folks, and I'm sporting the latest in night-combat technology. Namely a darkened ship! ...(Question:...Why do the fisheads do this when we're not at war!!![well here anyway] civie ships manage fine with lots of lights on ????)
Additionally, my 1975 Westlands Sea King on the back is equipped with an effective missile warning system (MWS)....... Oh no!.. It's not.. that was another cut back!!!!!
At least the internet link still works and give me the best laugh since the run ashore in Townsville.
Thanks all
It made I laff!!!!!!!
