Talking of dogs reminds me of a comparison someone made a few years ago of a Herc crew. the Capt was akin to an alsation, big and normally friendly. The Co was a labrador , friendly and somewhat naive. The Nav was obviously a pointer and the Eng a mongrel. The loadie we all thought should be a terrier, the smallest of the bunch but always yacking and demanding attention....

Whilst no doubt the crew themselves, and no dobt the Pax as well, saw the MAMS folks as Poodles, fresh from the parlour.
Dressed up to look like a real "dog" but in fact absolutely nothing like a real "dog"
Merry Xmas old fella
all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced

Now then guys,
"So, police dogs do actually fly on occasion. Does that mean they should also be granted flying pay"
Shouldn't think old PC Dog is due any flying pay but he sure as hell should be entitled to " carers allowance " for looking after his brain dead workmate Cpl Plod.
Blakey/Wilts,
Nice to see the gang is back bantering away. Merry Christmas eveyone.

"If MAMS get their wish, is this the route towards total Americanisation? In that everyone who has any vague connection to an aeroplane gets a set of plastic wing like accoutrements on their chest?"
This I guess is a reference to the fact that North American Forces (US & Canadians) wear a brevet if they are connected with flying, techs, movers etc. Aircrew get 2 wings what ever profession that they may be. This makes sense, those who fly get 2 wings to fly and those who fly occasionally get 1 wing! Perhaps HM Forces should adopt this concept.......... NOT!!
Remember folks you are supposed to be one big team. Nothing works without the other.
Keep safe out there and Merry Christmas to all.
Hoist to crew winching over and Out!
PS give them crew pay when they fly, not when they don't

Hi Gang;
Once spotted a WO 'mover route checker'
down the back of Albert once in flying suit proudly wearing his 5000 hr badge and filling out his log book....
Crew Pay I don't have an issue with...but I think that the GEs should be on the same playing field.
Condiments of the season...
