IIRC, the 'Dave' name seems to have originated from an earlier thread about the JSF's name, where it was concluded that 'Dave' was rather less lame than the shortlist General Moseley was choosing from.

Initially intended as a piece of sarcasm, it rather seems to have stuck...

You are obviously not up to date with current affairs - as expected by OASC
ISK is secure with Nimrod MRA4 for the next 20 years - you need to know these facts if you are applying for a real job - flying in the RAF!
I suspect you are you phishing!

Definitely agree there. The 'Black Mamba' had me in fits of hysterics. Dave it is then.

What is all this 'Dave' rubbish?

It sounds as lame as those spotter Wannabe magazine writers who used to call the Buccaneer the 'Brick' - or the Phantom F4J(UK) the 'Phantom F3'......
Bah humbug, damned impertinence. Wouldn't have happened in my day.

Beags, I dont even know you personally but I can picture you with pipe and slippers in front of a roaring fire!

A Super Station - what's that? Do you mean an Air Station with 7+ Squadrons and 5+ different aircraft types?

Yes? Oh, you mean Yeovilton then!
