From a groundies perspective:-

-Sunday morning cocktails on Ops in Italy '99
-Standing on the stern of illustrious in the Atlantic as our GR7s did a fly past after winning the bombing comp, I could have reached out and touched the wing
-First Nimrod Det which should have been one night in the Azores ended up crossing the pond several times and some cracking nights out in US / Canada
- Flying into Basrah on a Nimrod in 03 watching the aircrew put on their body armour (us groundies weren't issued with any so we made some comedy home made armour consisting of pie tins and locking wire.
- Fixing crew in snags - knowing that its important that the jet get airborne in the next 10 mins
- Curaçao 05 awesome Det
- laughing my ass of getting rocketed in KAF
