RAF Leuchars OC Fwd Support Wing's Latest GEMS Idea

"With the Tornado IPT now contracted to Rolls-Royce for 'Power-By-The-Hour', it's cheaper to employ these airmen for all taxying duties, thus reducing our costs! Now, where's my £25?"

OK lets go..............

In third place, The Wizard with;

20 Tornado Pilots pull without once mentioning that they are Tornado Pilots
In second place, bspatz with;

These defence cuts are really starting to bite, when I joined we used to have enough fuel to fly them, now we can only afford one hi viz jacket for the whole towing team

Come on lads, Put your backs into it - it's got to be over Murrayfield in 17 minutes and we'll get a hell of a lot of stick if it's late

Wow I won! Sorry, I've been at work all day and as I never thought for one moment I would win (I really only posted it to wind up people like E*** 6) so haven't got anything prepared.

Please bear with me for a short time while I get my a**e in gear.
