How about the JATE ivory tower builder who penned the FLASH signal informing all aircrew that we to stupid to assess our own load lifting sites and that
ALL load lifting and loadlifting sites were to be assessed and supervised only by a JATE qualified and appointed supervisor. Obviously looking for holiday destinations somewhere around the world.
This warmed our hearts as we were 250 miles out from South Georgia with 45 tonnes of dry stores for the army boys there, all to be load lifted as the ship couldn't get alongside and the stuff was too bulky for a boat transfer!
A quick signal back requesting that the JATE supervisor parachute in ASAP as our weather window was somewhat tight resulted in the original signal being very rapidly withdrawn.
Odd that? Isn't South Georgia in the holiday brochure yet?
