Jindabyne:
As I said previously, what has rank, or former rank, got to do with anything; or is that one of your personal hang-ups?!
I cannot find a word with the spelling 'pri*ik', whatever letter the asterisk might represent, in the diary. Perhaps it's a Serbo-Croat word! Or maybe it's simply that we should add orthographically challenged to the list of your obvious 'attributes'! And judging by 'or I we'll ban you', perhaps we should add grammatically challenged too! But, I know, you are going to plead finger trouble. OK! Digitally challenged as well!
You clearly have something of a hang-up about simulator instructors too. Indeed, one detects a hint of superiority in your comment, navigator or not! I have no doubt that Newt will have a suitable retort. All I shall say is that I prefer, by an infinite margin, the company of an ex-Lightning and ex-Jaguar pilot, who had the misfortune to spend a few months on the Buccaneer simulator, to a sad ex-Vulcan, ex-Buccaneer pilot, presumably, like you!
