Spot on Big Tudor.

The team had the quite deserved reputation for having a really good time. Trouble for many was it had to be earned, the hard way. It was amazing how the loud mouths who turned up to sample the team hardly ever lasted the initial three weekend try out. Mind you, those three weekends were deliberately hellish, specifically to test committment. Conversely the quietly confident with the proper motivation sailed through (albeit with a few blisters, aches & pains) and became very valuable members of the team.

Reference bad call outs, it was tough enough when it was a civilian unknown to you, but when it was aircrew that was worse. Kinloss were team on the scene when the 8 Sqn Shack came down on Harris in \'92
