By the way, gunners, when I was Sqn Ldr Air in the Islas Malvinas a year or so ago, both rotary wing Flt Cdrs were ladies. Both highly respected in a world not renowned for taking prisoners and both great ladies!
Went for a trip with one in a SeaKing. To me the idea of landing on HMS Bouncy Castle looked completely barking mad - she made it look utterly effortless. Would have flown with the other in the Chinnie, but it was u/s at the time....
Please, please come on in and play. The water is lovely - honest!!
Went flying today with a student captain - air refuelling over France in our VC10 followed by some simulated emergencies. She did very well indeed!
Don't listen to dribbling chauvinistic dinosaurs!
