To HB et al.
I thank you for your kind words. I return your sal.....ute at five paces. I liked signing the 700 and getting out of ops to find my "Pocket Rocket". No saluting on the flight line, just good honest work.
Sgt. at 23. Well done and then Nimrods at St. Mawgan. I recall the surf being fun down the road at Newquay.
OK folks, ..Quiz time.
1. Who knows the fastest way to solve a wet start problem with the little Gnat?
A hint- we still sat strapped in and the A/C was quite light and very well balanced by Petter (Canberra, Lightning and Gnat designer).
2. Where was the LOX bottle located?
3. Did anyone ever truly ever understand unlocking the elevators given a HYD. failure. Scary ****.
As to the rest of my fun in the service it was down hill.
If I am brave enough I may relate the story later.
Everyone take care and keep yourselves safe.
