Falklands 1983. Two Scouts depart Port Stanley for somewhere on West Falkland. One piloted by Sqn QHI WO2 Bill C the other by some gullible young Sgt. Bill says - 'Bet I can beat you there if I go via the longer route'. Sgt says - 'You're on'.

Weather awful, low cloud and poor vis but just flyable. 10 minutes later Sgt Gullible calls Bill -'What's the weather like where you are?' Bill replies 'Nay problem laddie - I'm VFR on top at 1500 feet - gin clear up here'.

10 minutes later another call 'Bill - I am at 4000 feet climbing and still in cloud'

Sounds of giggling 'Ayyyeee laddie - I got you there! - See you back in Stanley!'
