Unhappy Oh Dear

AH QHI 656 and Wizzard I have deleted my previous post - I still stand by my original slant but I shouldn't have let it degenerate into a rant, especially over a bl@@dy pi$$ up when there is much more important issues to unite over.

Have a good dinner next year!

I see the AAC is a bundle of laughs as usual!

Could you chaps use the phone or maybe just walk into the next office to 'debrief' the event??

Just a thought. It is entertaining though!!

Now all these 'Attack Pilots' need to do is leave the cosy confines of Wallop and get stuck in to their new 'Attack' helicopter Squadrons - No doubt life there will consist of the RSM's BFT's every morning at 0700 (straight after night flying), Sitting around the crewroom a lot waiting for the serviceabilty to improve beyond 10%, going uncurrent and flying the sim once a blue moon.....

Goodness me.

All I meant to do was thanks those in 673 for getting us all together for a fantastic night.?

Front seater,

Glad to see you edited your resoponce - you did a lot of public damage.

I have edited the name from my original scribe.

We had all worked bl**dy hard to get through CTT and CTR and I loved larging it up. Guess what too, I am going to do it again next year.

Attack Pilot's dinner for Attack pilots and guests - what can be wrong with that.

I'm not sure thats a valid argument, I used to be in the scouts and all I ever attacked was a couple of girl guides and a lashing or two.

I think a bit of confusion has arisen. Are they attack pilots because they have attacked or because of their role???

dwaynedibley, perhaps it might be an idea to explain to non woggle-wearers, that the lashings one learned about in the Boy Scouts were actually only methods of tying wooden poles together. Nothing to do with half-naked girl guides, baby oil and leather - well, not in my prep school troop, at any rate!

"What shoddy frapping" - great line from Penelope Keith as a pompous guide commissioner in 'To The Manor Born'!

OK - off topic. Sorry!

One wonders quite how, and with what, the earlier brown choppers like the Skeeter could have attacked anything more threatening than pygmies armed with sharpened guava halves!

There is nothing new here, there are some around who remember the Scout dinners in the late eighties and early nineties, venues like the Honourable Artillery Company lines or the Blackpool epic or the Salisbury Plain episodes. Names of those still serving are few but the Sloppy Link was there and at the Attack piliots dinner. They are only good as the people you are with. On both counts....fantastic!
