There was a Harrier Sqdn Eng WO in RAFG with a 'Harrier VSTOL Fighter Pilot, hours flown patch.
He would take any T bird 'jollies/trips' to increase his 'hours' at the expense of a 'reward' trip for the troops.
A new OC arrived,put a stop to it & told the gimp to stop displaying his 'fighter pilot' patch.As an ex Ginger,I feel qualified to discribe him as a complete O2 thief.
