I used to be a Bluntie but I got better. it just takes time. Sort of a care in the community project if you will.
I did get the opportunity to be the Flg Trg Wg Adjt at Valley when it was a bluntie post. Had a fantastic time with the chaps. wasn't allowed to do ACT, but did get to go on the SAP's upto SAP5. Great laugh. Belated thanks to Gary Thomas (Now Cathay I think) and 'Stumpie'Stoner (still tearing around in Hunters in his retirement lucky sod) and all the rest of you who put up with me asking stupid questions down the back. To Sqn Ldr Little...yep I did finally get the hang of a spin recovery in a Hawk. All in all over 50 hrs back seat in Hawks. A tremendous thrill and absolute pleasure...well I was sick a couple of times and that was not nice.
Anyway, took a leaf from GT and left to the civvy world. Now fly commercial jets...its not military but it is flying.
Actually a lot of ex mil mates with us. All very good, but no surprises there...even the army rotary boys seem to know what they are doing.
And just so I don't get accused of spoiling a good thred....
bollox, Ar*e, Wa*k.
I thank you. . <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
