Better get Navigator jokes going again
Young pilot enters bar in RAF Club Piccadilly, approaches senior looking chap at the bar
Sir Sir I have just heard this brilliant navigator joke and I'm repeating it to everyone I meet
Senior chap, I'll have you know young man I am a navigator
Don't worry sir, I'll tell it very slowly

It doesn’t take long to “Get it”. My daughter was a member of a UAS for just two years and she understands my banter far better than my missus of forty years plus does!
I think it was Henry Morgan. Halfway across the Pond in the middle of the night I got out of my seat to go for a walk (we are in a Belfast). Going past Henry I asked him in a jocular fashion "Are we lost then Henry". "No" said he. "Are we on track then Henry". "No" said he". "Well, if we are not on track and we are not lost, then where are we?". "Well, we are not on track but No.3 engine is!!".
My kids (17 and 16) are delightfully non-PC (blame the father), and often use the sympathy phrase. However, I have to warn them to be very careful where and to whom they display their highly lavatorial style of humour, such are these times of permanently being ‘offended’.
Does anyone still use ‘running goat f...’ to describe a cock-up?
(I didn’t say ‘type of dog’!)

The difference between a navigator and a GPS? When you have come down somewhere inhospitable, and aren't likely to be found for days, well...you can't eat the GPS

What about the ASTRA cinema when they ran Tom & Gerry and the credits came up including Fred Q***by bringing forth a raucous chorus of "Good Old Fred".

...to avoid the playing of God Save the Queen.
One of our number was Welsh; we asked him what Jones had said, "OI! You lot, stand up or f*** off!", he told us. They chose the first option!
My youngest daughter seems to have picked up most of the banter.
She has sung "O little town of Crossmaglen" at Christmas.
Her Shackleton Song needs more work, at the end she "....covered the Romans in oil"!
Seagull?!
