When the Falklands war broke out I can still remember the wide-eyed panic in the Bristow crew room when all the recently resigned from the RN pilots were discussing whether they would be called up.
Being ex Royal Air Force and English I have had a fair amount of 'japes at my expense'. I have noticed that in Scotland, Australia and inter-service gatherings that any 'japes at their expense' are returned with the threat of a bunch of fives.
I see that Bootneck recently posted a series of pictures of 332s being unloaded at Hong Kong in 1984. I would suggest that he knows damned all about the sandy side, the same as me.
