I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Milt, loosen up, of course I know that.

F111 came down in the Moray Firth in two bits. The bit what didn't sink contained the human freight. They unstrapped, unpacked their immersion suits, donned same.

All the while a fishing boat was hove too waiting for the tin can to open. Eventually two very smart ex-aviators emerged, climbed, dry-shod, onto the fishing boat, removed their immersion suits and were lifted off by the Lossie chopper.

For their pains two local fishermen were the proud possessors of two almost brand-new, used once only, immersion suits.

Vulcan should have worked like that too!
