I was assuming, given the number of RN aircraft that have run out of gas, that vec was being ironic/humerous
Exactly. I was fishing and caught loads.... Just 12 minutes for the first bite.
Run out of fuel...??? I've never been there but only by pure chance and a little bit of luck. Its an occupational hazard when we take our aircraft to the edge of the envelope.... it has happened before and it will happen again... thankfully this time they all walked away from the scene and hopefully the next crew will also have the fortune to walk away.
