Things you never hear.....

Overheard at the Deid'
VC10 crew- "wow this place is awesome, so glad we're out of Bahrain, felt a bit guilty about taking all the rates !!!"
C-130 crew-) " B*gger, wish we were back in BAS, the tents were great, as was the gene pool and the EFI and the mortars and the Camel's Toe"
Dry your eyes guys, and spare a thought for the rotary mates still at the dirty end of the RAF (JHFI).
Casting, casting, bait, plop;
How can you tell the difference between a Victor Charlie One Zero and a VC10 crew? The jet stops whining when you shut the engines down!....
Load moving...... and ECBA on.

"Look, those lads have been out on patrol to the south of Newtonhamilton for 8 hours already, it'd be cruel and unprofessional to not pick them up in our warm and cosy Puma. Otherwise they would have to yomp home and wouldn't get back till silly o'clock".

"Well if the Junglies won't do the task, we'd better call the RAF - they are so much more flexible than those Fly Navy types"

The fleet seems spread so thin these days that you'd struggle to get two within the same country let alone next to each other.

Things you never hear . . .

I wonder which one is the harrier pilot?


AT has arrived and will be departing on time


I'm so glad I did that operational fitness test before coming out to Al Udeid - I feel soooo ready for filling all those sandbags . . . . .


Yes sir, I'd love to hear about your ideas for a new synergistic, over-arching and underpinning management policy

From any *-ranked RAF officer: "that f##kin' JPA is an unmitigated disaster. If I have to hang on the phone for a minute longer while they sort my pay out I'm going to shoot the c##k-s##ker who decided to procure it"

Thats because TB is not the head of state. GB is the head of state. Sadly, our Head of state has also failed to visit any of her injured or dying servicemen....shows how much she cares. Lets get rid of the lot of them and vote for our head of state.

Proof, if proof were ever needed, that VVHA is mad!! Thank God (if I can say that anymore, or should I include Allah, Buddah et al) that we do not vote for our head of state. Can you imagine Trust-Me Tone or Gordon Brooon as head of state?

Or you can have a man who:
  • enjoys killing or torturing animals (often seen as a sign of trouble by real mental health professionals)
  • dumped Diana so he could marry Camilla Parker Bowles
  • talks to plants
and of course there is Michael Fawcett......Charles as King ??? we'd be the laughing stock of the Commonwealth.

A little unfair I think. Doesn't Her Majesty just do as she's told? I would suggest a good deal of the responsibility for her programme of activity rests with No 10.
