The Runway Caravan. Camouflage the damn thing and then stick it alongside the active runway so no-one could see it. A brilliant idea.....not.
Anyhow, having driven the beast back into Leeming MT yard one Friday, after the not camouflaged Jet Provost's had ceased annoying the local villages, I was accosted by the Duty MT Controller. "You'll have to wash it" says he. "Bugger" thinks I, "the bar's open".
The MT chappie then shows me this brand new all singing, all dancing diesel engine powered pressure washer. After a 30 second course of instruction, Cpl Taxydual set to work.
Within 10 seconds, the dirty green paint began to disappear and the original red/white squares began to re-appear.
Whoops.
