Great 230 line book entry from way back when, along the lines of:

Squadron of Whirlies standing down, or moving station or summat, and the station padre gets to say his bit. Gets up, and tells all and sundry that 230 had proved, in his opinion, a total failure!

Sharp intakes all round, and stunned silence- everyone waiting for an explanation.

Padre goes on to say that:

"In the Bible it says that Methusela went up into heaven in a whirlwind. And I never even got a left hand seat!"

Assembly breathes out, all is well.
