Isle of Wight ferry captain? The compliments just keep flowing, although I would hate to do as much sea time as they do, bad for the skin.
Your post is very informative, maybe you should have kept wearing the RAC uniform and helped advise the desk drivers in town who signed the Jaguar away to the hangars of Shawbury. I am now, as I always was, convinced that a travesty of common sense has been perpetrated.
I do hold some relief in reserve though, with an OSD of 2017 the UK has 4 years grace (I've already included the 1 year guaranteed slip) to get the Harrier replacement in. What could go wrong?
Let's hope they shrink wrap the Jag well, it may just become the GR11.
As for the concrete bombs, I have to take some of the flack for that idea. We knew it wasn't going to work when a USMC FAC asked one of the boys to "drop another one, that last one didn't go off" (I paraphrase but you get the idea.)
I'm off to get a new tube of Imac.
