RAF Techie 101. Why can you not accept that some ARE better than you. This guy has spent 30 going all over the world for King and Country. Has spent several of those 30 years away from home. Been posted to all sorts of dodgy places (certainly more dodgy than Kinloss). Aquired thousands of flying hours in various types of dodgy aircraft in (literally) dozens of countries. On this particular day (as I mentioned before) he'd been up since crack of sparrows. Is it asking too much that when he does get back to base, he can just drop the bloody car off at MT?!
