Flt Lt K C Jones
Does anyone know what happened to K C Jones, ex Herc mate, Cranwell JP instructor and then, I believe, a Saudi "convert". Went to an old watering hole today and the landlord was asking where he'd got to? Some fine memories of a good mate and a good instructor.

Time spent in reconaisance is seldom wasted.
Cripes.
1.4 - Given your obsession with the facts here, I thought you should know that Casey Jones was in fact, born John Luther Jones. So although AA may have committed the cardinal sin of being incorrect about a matter relating to the 19th Century Illinois Locomotive and Transport sector, so were you.

I think you'll find that the good Flt Lt was one of those awkward guys who used his second christian name, not his first. He was christened Keith Casey Jones, I'm reliably informed
Correct information is everything....

I don't know its origin, but his second christian name is actually "Chavez",he simply used his initials rather than "Keith".

You would think that even the most average civilian who is in receipt of all that money in bonuses would be able to find more to do with his life.....as opposed to feeling the need to cling on to the military "apron strings" by posting in here almost 4 times a day and starting over 60, mostly pointless and inane threads in the last nine months

Beags,
As I will retire the day I leave the RAF and never have to work again then all I ask of the world is that it allows my better half and I the chance to travel round it and enjoy the rest of our days in the sun
My pension will only be index linked so bonuses in the 1000's will not happen for me but that aside I do hope I can find something more enjoyable and fulfilling to do with my life rather than continuing to post in here on a thread I no longer really belong to and on subjects I no longer have anything worthwhile to add

Seldom fit summarised thus: I sincerely hope life in the big bad world has more to offer me when I leave in 4 years time. As I will retire the day I leave the RAF.. I do hope I can find something more enjoyable and fulfilling to do with my life rather than continuing to post in here on a thread I no longer really belong to and on subjects I no longer have anything worthwhile to add.
So I am pleased to have been able to exceed your expectations here. I am pleased too, that the years following your retirement hold higher expectations for you than those preceeding it obviously do.
By the way, I have a chum who runs a business in Bermuda. One of the bains of his life is helping old folk who have a dream to sail the world and to pickle themselves in gin. Let me know your plans would you? I shall tell him that you're not like all the rest and that (hey), you put in enough years in RAF Pergatory for the right to now do what you want in civvy street without suffering ignorant, crass, bigoted, myopic, and bitter and twisted invective from small minded and inadequate cretins with chips on their shoulders.
I hope that whatever you do, however much help and advice you ask for and whoever you hang around with in your new life, that you aren't treated with the pointless hostility that you reserve for me. It certainly isn't becoming of someone with the experience that you clearly have.
I wish you all the best.

One hates to return this thread to its original subject but .....
.... having trained (many years ago) with Keith (KC), there is always one "dit" that springs to mind when his name is mentioned. We were discussing (as chaps do) "delaying the inevitable" in a Singing Detective sense (if you catch my drift
) ...
...KC related that on one (or more) such occasion, he would attempt to recall in detail the problems of replacing the engine in a Twin-Cam MGA .... very little clearance and required much expertise apparently .... took his mind off the pressing problem to an extent that the problem was resolved....
..... he saved my bacon as an Officer Cadet once too - by vomitting before I did - but that's another story........

Regarding SFFP - have a look at the Chinook thread post 3162.
He appears to be a Steward of some kind - though I have no idea of what he is apologising for as he appears to have deleted whatever it was before I had a chance to read it.
