Only been waiting a few months for kit.....Get in the Queue!. .. .I have been here in Cyprus on 84 Sqn since Jan 01, squippers put in order for 2 lightweight flying suits (quite essential when it's 40 degs and you are sat in awessex for 4-5 hours doing firefighting in the summer...gets a bit warm like). . .. .In Sep two fling suits turned up marked as 15T (tropical), but looked and felt strangely familiar to normal ones. Squippers phoned the suppliers and were told "there are no 15T flying suits anymore due to the lack of a manufacture, so we just label the ordinary ones as 15T, what's the problem?". .. .Oh what a wonderful military world we live in, I think I was supposed to keep on stewing. Problem was only solved by my being grounded for back problems, hence no need for suits anymore for me anyway!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> . .. ."I see you are using Bonetti's defence"... "It seemed suitable with the rocky terrain"
