Very, very happy days

Only way to sneak up on the wobbleheads was to put the radar in standby (so they couldn't hear us coming) and then skyline them. Now, the Junglies weren't exactly known for flying too high, so........

Remember once getting a bit carried away/bull by the horns/target fixated (delete as applicable) and suddenly being very aware of gorse bushes and heather being in very close formation, followed by a few expletives and 'easing' away from Exmoor

Used to like it when the Pumas came to play. Gentlemen's hours, skies clear and the sun was shining, they were well rested after their night in the local hotels and we were treated to so many briefings I'm sure I must have learnt something. Compare that with a chat the night before in the Wardroom with some Sea King boy and then meeting up for a fight in the rain West of Taunton and I now realise just how much more professional the Junior Service was

I'd better call the nurse now, I think some wee has just leaked out, again.
