F2N,
Have just returned from turning about 13 tonnes of fuel into noise in spain! 800kgs isn't even near our MLA these days. I am amazed that Mrs S was still around after the Malaysian deal anyway! Reckon we need to suss the eatery and book ourselves in for a full fried b'stard complete with aregonies (spel?).
Hope to bump into you before the annual event in January - have heard on the grapevine that you now back in the command hot seat and even training - you obviously growing old in style!
Good to talk and best we hit the nostalgia button again soon.
ps. Wonder where the lovely wendy swainbank is these days, spin the doncaster and abbey hotel in great malvern dit often on 'interesting' night flights.
