Sounds like Kev doesn't it!

In the last 13yrs there has been only one RNZAF trick cyclist with wings....although there have been many of the 'winged demi-gods' with trick cyclists on their chests!

Its my 1st date as a civy today...quite like it really....1st monday in a while with a hangover that would kill a donkey.

Salutely? Whats that? Used to see it in the RN, but not in NZ. At my leaving medical the young AC WAAF called me "mate".... then gave me a good listening to. Many junior officers seemed somewhat amazed that I made an issue of it...... and with that attitude I would expect that we may as well combine the Officers, SNCOs and ORs Messes and be done with the whole thing. Perhaps we can all be pilots too? Or at least all have wings?

Maybe we should get rid of the aircraft too? Oh, no, we've already done that! Good job, a step in the right direction.

Baagh humbug.
