Landed my Army Gazelle on the decks of HMS Brazen and got zapped by HRA (His Royal Arrogance) Prince Andrew in the Falklands (San Carlos).

Seem to remember 2 'lineys' from 43 were charged in the late 70s early 80s, for zapping all 10 of the reds hawks at Leuchars BofB day.

Talking

Kaths cafe till on Eastenders (via letter to Gillian Taylforth)

This was on the show for about 4 months and in her reply to my letter, said that she'd make sure it would be 'in shot'; which it was.

Plaisance airport, Mauritius, 1966/67. We zapped the 205 Shacks in transit, then made the mistake of hitting the SAA 747. Wrong!! They got our silver PR9 (133) on the return leg with a beautiful Springbok, OC Eng was severely pissed-off. Great fun!

Kind regards,

TheNightOwl.

I had a mate on 205 Sqn who showed me a pic of when their Sqn 'zapped' one of the stone towers of Sydney Harbour Bridge with a banner made from about 16 bed sheets.

Not exactly a ZAP, but the best I ever saw was the 5 tons of paper poppies the Royal BrittishLegion managed to 'hide' in the bomb bay of the BOBMF Lancaster.

As she flew down the Mall one November morning and went to show the crowds below the bomb bay, 5 tons of poppies fell out!!
AND it was caught on camera and shown on the news.
Now thats what I call a result. Nice one RBL.

Did anyone get a ticket for the litter?

Not a zapping but....

There's an Aussie Hercules Sqn with a Prancing Horse emblem (on the tail fin) just a black sillouette. 36 Sqn(?)

On Bullseye '97, (CFB Trenton) by the time me and my red chinagraph were finished with it...

It had red fishnet stockings, stilettos, nipple tassles, lipstick and eyelashes.

They loved it, they had it laquered to preserve it, but when it got home, I heard that one of the bosses had it undone. Shame.

I still bump into the odd Aussie that remembers though! In fact I'll hazard a guess there'll be an Oz ppruner who does.


I bumped into them again during a recent war, but I didn't go for a repeat performance as their passengers were particularly menacing.

The Mayoress of Southends "Derriere!" and "Handbag" at a Civic Function following an Air Display, much to the dismay of the grownups. She however saw the funny side.

RIAT, a few years back, Bombardier Global Express (ASTOR platform) prototype parked in static acquired a few Gulfstream (competing airframe) stickers "overnight".

Swiftly removed before arrival of brass in the morning

In 1993 I returned to the UK after a few trips over Northern Iraq to find that I'd been tasked to take one of HM's Vickers SuperFunbus tankers to a static display at Hradec Kralove in the Czech Republic. When we got there, the very friendly organisers gave us all tickets to their hangar bash. "On behalf of the Commander in Chief of the Czech Air Force, you are invited to a post air show party including food and drink, folk music - and a striptease show! (I can't quite imagine the RAF's CAS issuing an invite like that!).

Very good it was too. Then on came the stripper. She was very sweet and giggly and gamely did the duty disrobing in front of a herd of well-lubricated aircrew and groundcrew - brave girl! But just after she was down to just high heels and a smile, from the audience jumped a Victor groundcrew lad armed with the sqn badge off his overalls to test out the 'velcro effect'..... It worked as expected - and she just giggled. But that caused a steady flow of willing hands and zaps which were then carefully applied to various portions of the lady's anatomy. All thought it excellent entertainment - especially the Czech C-in-C!

Gloriously non-PC and EO-free - but the Czechs knew what the boys wanted!!
