Another great story there Smudge
Whilst there have been other mentions on PPRuNe Mil in the past about Albert paddling at the seaside ... We've yet to hear on this thread if there are any amusing stories connected with such outings ... Not just the crew wearing swimming trunks and grabbing a 99+Flake from Mr Whippy
Maybe seaside outings in warmer places than just the UK ?
Smudge ...
From an engineering perspective ... I assume it was a bit of a pain to flush the airframe out after Paddling Ops ... along with liberal amounts of PX24 (not on the brakes ofcourse) squirted in every orifice
