Slightly off-thread.
When Shawbury staged a 'Taceval'* many years ago, the Survival Scramble was a joy to behold ... the gentlemen from Marshalls entered into the spirit of the exercise with body and soul!!! Aircrew were seen to leap out of crewroom windows and gallop across the ASP to their steeds (well JPs!) and strap in as they chased each other to the holding point and get airborne in a time that would have won applause from any QRA!!
It was obvious that for several ex Polish Air Force gentlemen the past few decades had fallen away and they, once again, gave it all they'd got ... inspiring

* Please don't confuse our efforts with the Tacevals in RAFG
