On returning to Gutersloh in our trusty Puma from the south, the reply from ATC was something like "your clear to join, 12th in line behind 3 Pumas 2 chinooks 4 Blackhawk and 2 Lynx but not necessarily in that order!". Oh, and to Charlie Golf who was on the vip puma, we got diverted mid task to go to Hannover to pick up some very top brass Americans in our very muddy pursuit ship and on delivering them to HQ flt was castigated by Brit army senior officer for the state of our aircraft, fortunately American chap who outranked him thought it was authentic and swell! Good for him
