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.
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.
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!

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...

Can't wait to get rid of the Bliars.

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?

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?

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!

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...

Errr, try "Jura, Isle of" for Paps thereof, and south Shropshire-ish for Sally's funbags.
And fantastic picture Ops and Mops , many thanks.

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!

Unless I'm mistaken,apart from the obvious topographical features 
, the "tits" comes from Titterstone Clee Hill (map/photo).
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?
