Something we are World Champions at
Junior rating a few hundred miles out in the North Atlantic gets the call that his mum is VSI in Belfast:
Ship steams shortest way to land.
When in range, helicopter launches him to Stornoway.
We are engines running in Albert when helo lands.
Junior bloke straps in with an "is this just for me?" expression.
We launch to the call of "Ascot xxx cleared direct Aldergrove" from Scot Mil.
Taxy in to waiting car.
When we can do this for our most junior blokes it completely restores my faith in our once illustrious outfit. Done a few Comp As and the attitude of all involved never changes and we cannot let anyone interfere with what is a brilliant system.
