Sally's pendulous ones?

[bowly]

Anyone know who 'Sally' was or why the hills are called such?

[pshakey]

Ah yes, many a time I have 'popped in between them', and wondered from where they took their name. In fact they are mightily unimpressive. No great compliment to Sally, whoever she is.

[Tarnished]

I know an ex-Tornado mate who's wife shares the same name and could (so it is rumoured) be easily be mistaken for the geographical attraction in the Malverns, but if I say any more it will lead to a falling out if he reads these pages.

[Dan Winterland]

Top marks to London Mil who asked one of my Qatari students while we in the Lichfield corridor what our intentions were after reaching Cosford. He replied,

"Enteing low level at Sally's t!ts".

They knew exactly where he meant!

[retread7]

They definitely pre-date an early-90s female aspiring FJ pilot of the same name - it was very un-PC to call them Sally's tits for a while. Good to see traditions last longer than political correctness...

[Yarpy]

Good to see traditions last longer than political correctness...

Oh I wish. I am completely fed up with political double speak and lack of tradition in my dear old Blighty.

Can't wait to get rid of the Bliars.

Early morning rant over.

[Impiger]

I can recall them being called that as long ago as 1982 when we used to do overalnd PIs along the Welsh borders from Wattisham. I think the name came from a Wilbur Smith book where a pair of similar shaped hills behind the African farmhouse in his story went by that name and it just kind of stuck.

Now what about Dogs Bo!!*cks woods near Spadeadam are they as well known to London Mil?

[18greens]

Where are they? I want to see them.

[teeteringhead]

Why all the fuss? The Paps of Jura have been so named since Pontius was at IOT, and (IMHO) look more like the real thing than Sally's.

Anyone clever enough to post piccies of either or both?

[Spugford]

There's an equally well-shaped hill on the northern side of the LLeyn Peninsula (Welsh people - is 'LLeyn' actually Welsh for peninsula?), which is perfect in form - I'd say a solid D cup - to the the degree that the cairn on top looks exactly like an increasingly pert aureolus!

Takers?!

Got to be worth a look, I heard they don't get enough low level traffic around there!

[Big Cat Handler]

Wife of UBAS CFI late 90's was called Sally - very embarassing for poor fresher as he briefed Sqn on local landmarks!

Dog's Bol-X are surely (at least to the RW fleet) a pair of lakes on the western edge of Shawbury's MATZ! Doubt London Mil know about much that happens at 50' agl...

[Ops and Mops]

As requested, the Paps of Jura! :D

Now just to find a lass of the same name to compare them with! :E

[Cat5 in the Hat]

So where are these features??

[teeteringhead]

Cat5

Errr, try "Jura, Isle of" for Paps thereof, and south Shropshire-ish for Sally's funbags.

And fantastic picture Ops and Mops , many thanks.

[Cat5 in the Hat]

Excellant.

The Jura that sprang to mind was that part of France/Switzerland named so.

Nicely ta.

[steamchicken]

I think it's Microsoft headquarters that has a landscaping feature in the grounds known as the "Dolly Parton Hills"

[6foottanker]

Just referring to the original posting, Sally's Tits refer to the Clee Hills, situated to the north east of Ludlow, Shropshire. On of the 'nipples' is actually a radar head for London ATC, except i think they're either taking it down, or replacing it at the mo. Ex UBAS studes will fondly (ooh er) remember them, if they had any SA whilst on low level trips! I recall flying round the wrong tit on one sortie. Oh, and the hills climb a lot quicker than the mighty 'Dog did!!!!!

I too remember Sally of UBAS QFI-wife fame, 2000/2001. Hubby's the ex? Tutor display dude, top bloke, taught me everything i kno........:\ :\ Gone are the drinking club days!

[Spugford]

6FootTanker, check PMs

[adr]

Unless I'm mistaken,apart from the obvious topographical features ;) , the "tits" comes from Titterstone Clee Hill (map/photo) (http://www.multimap.com/map/photo.cgi?client=public&X=359370&Y=277631&width=500&height=310&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=freegaz&pc=&zm=0&scale=50000&multimap.x=215&multimap.y=135).

And if they're tits, they'd have to be someone's tits. I wondered if "Sally" came from Salop (Shropshire)? Salop's tits -> Sally's tits?

adr

[6foottanker]

So adr, what about the other 'tit', Brown Clee Hill??? Or are you assuming that just adds to the breast metaphor?:p

[ZH875]

So adr, what about the other 'tit', Brown Clee Hill??? Or are you assuming that just adds to the breast metaphor?Must have beennamed as a monument to our wonderful Chancellor of the Exchequer - Mr Brown, a 'tit' in many peoples eyes.:hmm:

[adr]

So adr, what about the other 'tit', Brown Clee Hill??? Or are you assuming that just adds to the breast metaphor?
Heh. Am I present at the birth of a new euphemism? "Hey, guys, check out the Brown Clees at ten o'clock." Not that anyone here would ever draw attention to a person's physical attributes, of course. Ahem. Is that the time? Must be going.

Note that Stocking Cottage is about 1200m NW of Titterstone Clee Hill............

[BEagle]

But one wonders about the naming of a certain place near Woodbridge... At 332471 on my old 50 thou of the area was the splendidly named 'Gobblecock Hall' just south of the road across Sutton Common near World's End Plantation. Sadly it has disappeared from more recent versions of the map!

[Big Cat Handler]

While we're on comedy place names, has anyone ever visited (intentionally or otherwise) the village of Muff? It's just inside the RoI north of Londonderry, and is on the coast, so it's entirely possible they have a diving club... ;)

[6foottanker]

"Ere, look at 'er Brown Clees! " might also suggest one is regarding a young ladies knobbly leg joints. Or is that where 'they' are hanging down to....?!:E

[lurkposition]

Ah it is all so crude.

I prefer to have meandered around the Bosoms on West Falkland.

Well, maybe not preferred to be on west Falkland now I think about it.......

[MiniEng]

On the Shetland Isles Mainland, just off the A971 near Bixter there is a place (not enough people even to be called a Hamlet) by the name of Twatt. My wife took a photograph of me standing next to the road-sign. That was an error of judgement.

[ZH875]

Twatt was large enough to have a Royal Naval Air Station (HMS Tern) from 1941 to 1949.

[sangiovese.]

I remember 'K**t Electronics' which was on the road to Antioch (no sign of the holy handgrenade) from Incirlik:E

And I have the picture (this is turning into an FHM article!)

[TD&H]

Seem to remember in the States two airfields to get in your logbook were 'French Lick' and 'Intercourse'. Don't know if they really exist, but sound good!

[Duplo]

Not that I would doubt it, but it would appear there is a novel entitled 'The Mystery of Gobblecock'.... a Thriller apparently...!

[Golf Charlie Charlie]

I can certainly confirm there is a small town called Intercourse, in Pennsylvania.

[Ex Douglas Driver]

I hate to do this, but just north of Intercourse, Pennsylvania there appears to be a "Muddy Run".

Here endeth the smut........:hmm:

French Lick is in Indiana.

Short info link (http://www.ohwy.com/in/f/frh.htm) and one with even more fascinating (:confused: ) facts here (http://www.city-data.com/city/French-Lick-Indiana.html).

[lurkposition]

Well, if we are in to airfield names then I have made quite a few approaches to those two, fairly close, airstrips in the Middle East. Namely Firq and Saik.

Their names do them justice.

[Thud_and_Blunder]

Before the Jebel Akhdar road was built, the only way to get the alfalfa needed as fodder by the beasts of burden at the top of the mountain was to fly it in robust fixed-wing a/c. Departure a/f was Firq, arrival a/f was Saiq; do the run 4 times and there was a "4 Firq Saiq" tie available to the lucky pilot.

[la calda]

On the subject of Scottish hills, the Paps of Jura are mentioned above but we have Pap singular in the hill the Pap of Glencoe. Viewed from the north (usually from outside the Glencoe Hotel with pint in hand on a summers eve) it has a wonderfully pleasing form

[Titan Locked]

Not forgetting the airfield of MUFRASH which I'm sure all the chaps who have spent time in and around Basrah are more than familiar with ....

[Spur Lash]

In the early Eighties there was a NDB (?) called Sob Story which I think was in Iceland. It was listed in the Red ERS.

[BEagle]

Und in Bavaria, between the towns of Nesselwang and Kappel on the B309 lies the village of.......Wank!

[Pontius Navigator]

I was too old to know Sally's tits, but just to piss you all off we had Pulau Bidan (I think the spelling is correct).

It was off Butterworth and means pregnant woman. It had tits as well.

[Sloppy Link]

Maintaining the thread of the finest of female attributes,

1. Bosnia dudes would remember "Dolly Parton" on the way to Coralici from GV

2. Falklands dudes would remember Nipple Hill on the Western Islands.

3. Yakima training area, Washington State has to north of the HLS a feature named "Squaw Tit"!

[PileUp Officer]

I particularly liked the village of 'Wetwang' in Yorkshire.

A mate of mine was telling me of Nipple Hill and Shag Island in the FI, apparently "Circling the nipple, heading for shag" was a common Air Traffic call. (Apologies if this totally wrong)

[airborne_artist]

I'm not the Jag mate referred to earlier, but I too married a Sally, some 20 years ago, and they are still a navigational feature, even in IMC.....

[moggiee]

BEagle - unfortunately, the German word "Wank" is just the past tense of the word "wave" (if my memory serves correctly).

Ich Wink - I wave
Ich Wank - I waved (but very quickly and for quite some time!!!)

Still, like Arsbeck near Wildenrath, the Germans do have the decency to provide us with a good many comedy names!

There are a couple of German actors called Herman Fuchs and Barbara Rutting.

[Compass Call]

When driving round Masirah, we would stop for refreshments (coldies) at 'Jennifer's Tits'. Also the Strikies used to fly between them. They were named after the wife of a CO of RAFO Masirah.

I belive that kokum and wankum were near 'Laarparts'...IIRC
