Heard some loadies are not exactly fighting to get back on this bird. Having said that, if its choice between a job in ops or allowances? Still it might be better than wearing a skirt!

Well hello, Fokker old boy

Priesty seems to be taking a long time to make it go - perhaps "She doesn't like the sky!"

Edited to get the Focking spelling write!

It's true! soon the dulcet tones of T.C.P. will grace the airways once again. Watch this page for progress news. The beast is currently in Tennessee receiving T.L.C. from the great man himself, prior to it's flight to TeesSide
