Sqn Banter - PLEASE Join In the fun!
Ok, so picture the scene...Summer camp starts at sleepy old RAF Nania, a scene straight out of the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe... Students from the Sqn on the 'Dark Side' of the base are wandering around aimlessly bumping into trees and QFI's, looking for their aircraft which are sitting on the line waiting for them.
While they are on camp, proud in the knowledge that they have put another year of Uni behind them, causing mayhem with ATC, bonging Controlled Airspace and revelling in the euphoria of their first solo they foolishly leave their Sqn building open and allow us to steal their beloved Table Football!
So gentlemen, here it is - the better Sqn won again! Please Please Please, click the link below - we want to get as much interest as possible, we are looking at a target of 2000 hits by the end of the auction, spread the word far and wide to anyone you know and please, feel free to bid on the item so they never get to see it again! Also, if you have an Ebay account, then please just add it to your 'Watched Items' section so we can try to get it onto the Ebay Homepage!
All proceeds will of course be donated to charity, namely the Manchester and Salford UAS Haircut and beard shaving fund - so will obviously go to good use and make the guys look almost respectable when moving around the Stn!
Please enjoy, send them plenty of banterful messages (the more the better) and spread the word!
Yours,
Retribution

Retribution,
Obviously you did not mean that you stole the said item, but simply borrowed it and are looking after it until its owners have stopped bumping into trees etc. I would hate for any of the PPRuNe readers to get the impression that you were a bunch of thieving scousers, with no potential officer qualities whatsoever! I suspect that your boss may be thinking along those lines as well (especially if his boss is reading this thread!!!)
So lets ensure that this banter does indeed stay friendly before someone gets an interview with neither coffee nor biscuits!

Of course, its all in the name of FRIENDLY rivalry...But if the bidding gets high enough - rumour is that OC MASUAS is willing to throw his dog in too!!!
A bargain me thinks - so while you are all busy bidding i'll get my SD Hat and go to the Boss' Office!

MASUAS always were a poor second to the mighty LUAS. And they smelled

Quality - however don't agree with
A charity would be a little more appropiate.

As ex MASUAS, I obviously couldn't condone your scouse thievery. LUAS were always a bunch of ruffians and bullies when I was at Woodvale in the Early 90's (& think i've just got a poss lo ID on Oggin Aviator!).
A LUAS reunion from Oggin Aviators era would probably throw up a bunch of double glazing salesmen !

Please do not confuse the premiere University Air Squadron with a bunch of thieving low-life!
University of London Air Squadron = ULAS
Scouser UAS = LUAS
Liverpool University - surely an oxymoron?
And no ULAS student would stoop to the level of being associated with Kevball - or even table Kevball!
But I guess the UWAS Lads are still winning all the rugby football matches.....

Great Banter, and good fun. Typical Scouse move. LUAS didn't win the annual inter UAS sports competition at Woodvale once during my time at Woodvale (mid-late 90s). Guess they hope to improve their chances this year by removing the pitch!!!
Good luck to both Sqns, but my loyalties at Woodvale will always lie with MASUAS. What news of the future of Woodvale under the limited flying regime? Hard to imagine it staying open just for 10 AEFin the current financial climate.
I'm just about to finish my RAF flying after 39 years and treasure the memories of my 3 UAS tours
