As a puma and ch47 geezer, where did you spend 9 months away? I can only guess one place. You cannot have been in SH long if you have only got 4500 hours including your 747-400 office. Basically, what is your gripe? That you were the only person in the RAF who did anything hard or that you are boring us all with a WIWOP or WIWOC story.
From what I heard, the boys from Odiham have cut new ground in the last 2 years that previously was only done by wesex boys.
So please tell us what your point is once you have fixed your TV in Vegas or your computer connection in NYC!
