Fugazi,
was sat in the a/c waiting for the 'sharp end' to arrive. A/c is role 19a (clear floor) with side seats as we are going to Finningley to give the students a bit of Herc experience. Captain turns up says it has all been changed we are off to West Raynham to pick up a Bloodhound to take to Germany.
At this time they were transported on pallets so the role fit was full side guidance etc. I suggested to the Captain that he point this out to Ops. He does so only to be told basically 'get on with it'. So we get to Raynham and the fertiliser hits the rotating cooling device. We are of course not correctly roled for the task.
We, the crew, are also fireproof ! So back we go, empty. to Lyneham.
We never did get to Finningley.
