BEagle, that refers to the mad rush from home and the stagger across the grass from the car park.
One day, a rather lazy and dipsomaniac Master arrived just 'too late' to get to flying clothing and get ready as the aircraft was about to taxy.
I intercepted him and hurried him to the aircraft with him protesting about his para-harness, bomb dome etc. I had thwarted his excuses by putting them on the aircraft for him.
Frequently, when we scrambled on Q we would arrive on barrier a day late.
