Even though we had a good get together in July to celebrtate the 40th anniversary of the Puma. Is the annual reunion still on this year?
I'm certainly planning to attend again
Oh yes, room and train all booked looking forward as ever but not to the hangover!

I bet you can tell a table full of Puma loadies a mile off, they will be the ones kneeling under the table looking out :)
Same place as always, same day as always !!

Thank you for being so helpful with you reply to a direct question. Despite having being on the Puma for 7 years I still have no idea where the normal place/time is.....

You've been on Puma for 7 years, and you still don't know?
I must add, your date of joining PPrune seems rather "fishy" to me :suspect:

'It's only me' is not the only one. I was Pumoid groundcrew at Gutersloh '86-'90, & I have no idea of the details of this social fracas.
Is it a bit like joining the Masons? Do I need to shave a leg or something?

Anyone who's current or ex-Puma are more than welcome, its surprising some of the faces that turn up.

I am way too young to be a grandfather but the swines have done it to me anyhow, all the love and affection I showed and this is how they treat me............:):):)

Philrigger show a bit of respect - there's no such animal as a 'Loadie' on helicopters.
I presume you mean a 'Crewman' or you really do need to get some time in....;)

Might I suggest that at your age you may not be that well suited to all those bright lights and all that noise in London :E

Few of us had CM Brevet's on our name patches. Got my first one for the '82 Tiger Meet (remember that one lsh) and when I left in 2004 I still had a CM brevet on my name badge. In fact the only LM brevet I had was on me No.1 uniform.

Hi Mate!
First guy I saw with a "CM" brevet was Duncan McD, asked him where he got it?
He made it out of his "QM" one, looked pretty good too!

7 years on the force and you don't know where or when it is????
Go and ask one of your Sqn mates who will tell you then ........ duh!
No need for a public announcement!

As it happens I do know where/when it is; as with the Benson do, I was trying to help those that don't know by actually getting getting a proper reply. Guess you are not capable.
Now I know why I left.

Sadly had to leave early (work) but managed to chat with a few old and young mates. Beer going down well, promising to be another good session.
Hope you all have a good night and sore heads in the morning.
