I'm a bit confused now. Have I just been Waahhed by LL, or is he attempting one or what. I know by asking that I'm falling for it but.........

The mess looks lovely. Then again those tiger squadron paint jobs always do

Don't be stupid 30 Sqn aren't a Tiger Sqn. If they were don't you think they would have used Tiger type colours (come on m8 think about it)

Anyway only FJ sqns are Tiger sqns and all the Sqns at LYN are anything but FJ.

That looks very well done indeed, chaps! But the 'LXX's don't actually need to be there as it's implicit in the paint colours.

I think that an acceptable compromise would be to leave the yellow and blue and remove the 'LXX's - and invite the other squadrons to do as well in their colours!

It obviously took longer than a couple of minutes to do, so what were the doughnut-scoffers doing at the time? Playing with themselves? Or their dogs?

Hope the Stn Cdr likes it!

I think you guys are all mad, none of the rotary squadrons at Lyneham are Tiger sqns!

Yes, they are a timmy squadron, but that is the only thing that the VC10 and the animal off the rice Krispies box have in common.

LL - you really haven't got the hang of this have you?

That is F'ing Brilliant, you have got a real flare for decorating mess, but you must of upset someone because I have just been over to the O's mess and it has been painted back in Tiger colours again.

I am very impressed though, it is a real shame that you put all that time and effort in (I would say money as well but I presume you nicked the paint) and someone has come along and painted over it so quickly. At least you have evidence that you actually did paint the front of the mess.

You truly are a mess artist.
