Looks like hook, line and sinker.... Predictably.

But why a 'Wedgimental' QHI? Aren't standard acronyms adequate? Do they have 'Command' QFIs in other Services?

Had many a pleasant night at Gut before the dung-eaters took it over. Usually in an hotel because the mess, not 'bawwacks', was normally full of youngster Harrier mate Porsche-polishers.

Just hope the Rusting Lorry Corps are made to park their trucks, walk their labwadors, exercise their horses somewhere else other than on the runway!

Oh-and as for retirement, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Pi$$-stained chair? No, usually a seat in business class thank you very much, Detriment.

Fair point about Hannover being used for grunt-twooping; why on earth it's being used instead of Gut is hard to defend. Did many a trip there; thieving little squaddies tried to steal bits of the aeroplane (e.g. life preservers) on more than one occasion.
