...the only line of patter from QWIs I can remember was...
QWI in cine room at Brawdy. Clackkity clackkity clack....clack....clack "Uh-huh...ride up...late pickle...wotcha get, then?"

Self: "DH"

QWI: "Bollocks". Then leaps forward with special-for-QWIs measuring jobber...."You can't have done"!

Self: "Well, that's what the RSO said!".

QWI: "Compensating errors. Doesn't count!"



............................................................ .......

A few years later, BEagle is fortunate enough to be allowed another complete TWU, this time on the 'JP6' at Chivenor.

QWI: "BEagle, that kneepad bombing jobber thing you've made, can I have a copy, please?"

Self: "Certainly. As an ex-Vulcan co-pilot I'll happily share my knowledge with a mere fast jet QWI!"

QWI: "Cheeky sod!"



The 'kneepad bombing jobber' was something I'd made so that you could obtain the right sight piccy and other settings directly from the RSO's wind velocity without hard sums. Plot it, read off the settings. Good enough to win me the Viking Trophy for best overall live weapons!
