Speaking of Divs - day one of a three day TACEVAL with a DI staff on the jump seat. DI staff says "Bang - you've just been hit by a SAM. What are you going to do?"

"Divert to Leuchars" we say.

"Go on then" he replied.

So we did - and went U/S. Due to exercise manning constraints, it took two days to get the parts and the engineers up to porridge land. Best TACEVAL I can remember! We were in quite a lot of pooh when we got back from a boss who wasn't quite sure if we weren't pulling a fast one. But not as much pooh as the DI staff.
