Good one OV6


It may have been the same time, but I was on a crew in Akronelli with the mighty J*e H******ff as guest captain. He was offered all the VIP visitors' perks but decided to accompany the crew to the mess then down to the Aki Arms. There we were accosted by some comely Wrafs on a hen night and the wrong side of a few brandy sours. Sussing out by our moon tans that we were a Herc crew they asked us our crew positions. Not wishing to offend, we admitted being the Eng, Loadie, GE and SVC etc. till one lass asked J*e. In his booming voice he stated "I am a Group Captain in the Royal Air Force"
When we turned round we were on our own. Low profile, not.
