This SNCO can be likened to a hoop - he will trundle along quite happily if regularly hit with a stick, but take away the stick and he soon wobbles off course and falls over!

How about aircraft nicknames?

-The Big Green Party Machine

-Dr Lockheed's Patented Hangover Tube

-The Belslow

-The Meatbox

-The Frightening

-The Tonka

-The Widowmaker (attributed to several types)

Any others spring to mind?

"Scrote", a term of endearment applied to AAC groundcrew in the days before Blackadder, hence its more modern application, "Baldrick"

"face like a melted wellie"

"Time to spare? - Go by Air"

Always a good one to lift the poor student's morale:

Not much wrong with todays performance Bloggs apart from a spot of bad luck and a crippling lack of ability

"He's a f££kin winnit"!---

" If you had balls for brains you'd be a eunuch"!-----or the other way round of course.

Best line I ever heard was from an ex Vulcan Crew Chief ( F / S ) to a Plod--as in "why don't you just p££s off son"--plod asks F/S to repeat again--obviously in deep trauma by now--F/S says to my mate, Eng Cpl--"tell him what I said"--who duly tells the plod to "F££k off or I'll deck yer"--plod looks agast at F/S who duly nods in agreement. Incident related to an "unfortunate" jet pipe fire on a Jag in RAFG one Friday evening--plod had the nerve to ask: " Are we talking about criminal damage here with these two"-ie a couple of engineers with no rank badge showing. Happy days

Two of my favourites for slow students.

1. They say you learn by your mistakes, so you will have learnt loads then.

2. You are so far behind the drag curve you need binoculars to even see it.

Always good for fish'ead/blunty baiting,

"Flying Pay is not all it's cracked up to be, It only just covers the rather sizeable morgage on my country retreat."

When said fish'ead/blunty bites saying how much more promotable he is than thick, uncouth aircrew, simply reply:

"You should have worked less hard at school mate, then you could be interesting too".
