Excellent thread and posts Shackman, it brings back a pleasant memory of passing out of my Sootie further training course at RAF Halton, we were all being giving our postings, I went back to Brize and the Ten, then it came to one of the lads who had spent 8 years on Jags and had put down for
Jags, Jags, Jags
and
Lossie, Lossie, Lossie
As his three choices...
Come his turn he was asked do you want the bad news or the good news first? Electing for the good news he is told he is going to Lossie, asking for the bad he is told he is going on Shacks, they then said but cheer up they are sending you on a Griffon course.... Ooohhhh, where he exclaims... RAF Halton was the reply
So we escaped after 9 months and he remained for another 6 weeks lol
