Danny42C... I was in the pub in Louth [The Wheatsheaf] that functioned as the No 2 Officers Mess for Manby when I looked at SATCO and said something like "I'd really like to get out of Flying Training Command: any chance of a posting?". "Where do you want to go?" he replied. "Oh, anywhere, and I'll only need a couple of weeks' notice" I replied, in that uber-confident plt off way when talking to SATCO down t'pub. "I'll have a word with 'Red' <redacted>. Leave it with me." ('Red' was the sqn ldr who managed ATC JO postings.)
And ... a couple of weeks later I found myself posted to Tengah. What's not to like?
