I thought it went Red sky at night, Toxteth's on fire (again)

My top-tip... If there's any doubt, there's no doubt!

Viz Top-tip.... make your neighbours think you're a mad scientist by hiring a JCB, parking it on your drive, then spending all evening swithching your house lights on /off and dimming them. Before your neighbours wake up replace the JCB with a tonka toy replica.

PVR, it's the way ahead and possibly a bit quicker and more certain than redundancy.

Never get seperated from your sleeping bag (Ch47s are cold tents)

Never believe your desk officer (ok - maybe in writing...!)

Never eat yellow snow in Norway

Amen to that!

(And don't believe folk who tell you your kit will be on the next lift. Specially Smokey Furness).

When out on the pop, always, always, always walk around the joint finding all the ugly birds and, whilst still relatively together, say one of the following things:
1. Have you just farted?
2. Been chasing parked JCBs?
3. If you look like your mother, I think I may have s-----d her a few weeks ago
4. I always swamp after sex

That way, no matter how much you may try later, they won't sleep with you.
I've never done the walk of shame since!

Before discussng you next posting with your desk officer ask him when he is posted. If its before you don't believe a word he says.

OK so long as you dont have a nav bag or a drift bitch on the crew.

Brightling - CH 47 cold tents. Not wrong, in fact ***kin cold tents.

Gainsey - Are you talking about a Smokey Furness who was on 7 Sqn circa 83-85? If so BTDTGTTS!

Best thread in ages, this.....

Never get separated from your kit

Never pass Food, Fuel or a Porcelain

Never fall in love; in the dark....
from behind...
when pi**ed...
over the radio....
or, at long range..!

The only time you can have too much fuel is when you are on fire.

Friendly fire hurts just as much....

Yep! He of the biggest USL in all Chinookery.

Nil maggot was on Ex PurpleDurple at Wet Through, Nov '87.

Bumped into him @ Farnborough show a few years back, had severalteen beers or so, dunno where he is now. Still in touch with Bograt.

If its bust before take-off it won't get better once you are airborne.

Never let your mum brush your hair when she is angry and never pull your dad's finger when he asks!

You don't have to win every battle to win the war.

(This applies as much to baiting old-fashioned Master Aircrew who should've retired years ago as it does to armed conflict )

My old dad always says, the three most useless things in aviation are:

Runway behind you

Airspace above you

Fuel in the bowser

Although I'm sure there are a few more

My favourites:
Never tie your shoelaces in a revolving door,

and a pat on the back from a GL is just a recce for a knife
