Is this thread still going
Kenny customs are in place at Lyneham Bzn etc to sort out the sort of problems you allude to, Muppets and scuffers" are there to check for stuff they might be able to use in the respective crewrooms.
I am often handed "weapons of mass destruction" in the form of aircrew knives or gerbers etc by well intentioned movers or RafP only to re issue said items as soon as the doors are closed. For all those familiar with Albert there are more than enough "lethal wepons" available down the back in the form of tensioners, chains etc or even, god forbid, the other assorted dangerous air cargo we carry which is readily accesable to all and sundry
There is no doubt that both the afore mentioned empires are in place for good reasons, the "df" alcohol is now kicking in, but the justification for fuc@ing about "our own" holds no water at all.
Solution is for scuffers to do what they do best............gate guard and for muppets to do what they do best.................answers on a postcard
all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced
