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

WD3, no idea but I do remember the mission report vividly.

Another report, this time sanitised as it was a year or so earlier, related the experiences of a jet-jockey who evaded a number of Guidelines. He did 'this', then he did 'that' and so on. As we read on, counting the engagements off, the article stopped describing his evasive tactics after a dozen or so, In all we made it a count of 21.

Now this could have been any type. At the time we had not heard of the weasel or that type of mission.

If it was a weasel sortie it must have had one hell of an AUW at take-ff to get those balls airborne.
