Back in the 1970s, it was sometimes possible for a sqn groundcrew member to fly over to Goose on the 7th seat of the mighty Vulcan.
We took a certain lad once in 1978; upon our arrival at Goose he was spirited away by the local det gang to 'experience' Newfie culture. In particular, a spot which was known to feature an entire range of STDs...
After we'd been in Goose for a few days flying STCAN 9 &10, the boss and his crew came through northbound from Offutt on their way home. Whilst making small talk in the bar, he asked how things were going.. "Fine, boss!", came the answer, "...but the lad we brought with us has been having the best time of all - he's been $hagging for Queen and country amongst the Newfies ever since we landed!"
"Good lad! What's his name?"
"J/T T****r"
"WHAT? That's the little $od who's been taking out my teenage daughter. BASTARD!"
However, since his daughter was (except to the boss) well known to be somewhat 'generous with her favours', it's unlikely that the relationship suffered much.....
