Since we are into 'war stories', I was alongside Ivan in my aluminium death-tube early one morning up near 'the rock' and asked the tanker for my pigeons to KEF whereupon matey in the Bear blister held up a topo and pointed.
Then there was the Leuchars exercise when the stand-down was given to me with my tanker using the wrong authentication code. Tanker mates were good sports and obviously wanted to get rid of fuel, so 65 mins, 'direct orders from Staish' and three more incorrect authents later Buchan gave me my cat's name and I agreed to stop playing..
