Whist on det at Leuchars (TLT) in 98, my estranged wife made a call to my Squadron to say my son had been hospitalised and wasn't sure of how serious it was because the doctors wouldn't say.
The Lineys prepped a tonka, one of the Navs and a Pilot plotted a flight plan to Lyneham,
spoke to the relevant Opsies and a sortie was happening within 45 minutes of the call. Strapped into the back seat and was flown straight into Lyneham.
Shut down at LYE and got out of the back seat and straight into the taxi that the Sqn Scribbly had sorted out.
Got to hospital to find out that my son was OK.
The Comp system was bypassed, but it was good to see just how much the Sqn cared about its' blokes and how they pulled the stops out for one of their own.
Thanks guys.

PS, DON'T FORGET THE COMP SYSTEM IS THERE FOR YOU, I was just lucky that the Sqn was aclose knit family.
