PC would it be
Although reading the trail again there is a suggestion that the individual is a Captain therfore now flying as pilot
Struggling to get the MS clue I'm afraid.

a widely held belief was that the closer you sat to the Nimrod Bog the easier it was to get a B cat.
Anyway, Alfiedsavel, don't be squeemish about outing the ........person. Why he needed to lie about having the two winged brevet in the first place is a mystery to me. All the most important, and hard, work (and vomiting) was done down the back (in the galley of course, generally a pilot and nav free zone).
Go on, you know you want to!
I've just stumbled on this and I can't believe what Alfie has said.
No I will not oust him I promised one of the people who confirmed the story that I would not do that. I want to, trust me the man or woman has completely lied to me about a number of things including his or her position in the Nimrod fleet his or her conquests and the whole A1 thing which really pisses me off.
His or her cards are marked with me and thats that, I'm just the small guy making sure he or her does not stiff me.
Wow, I'll bet you are a real pleasure to be around and have as a work colleague! So what, he's a Bobby Bull$hitter, there are loads around. Nearly all of them are harmless. If he/she has never done anything to you, why would you want to 'mark their card'?
I'd rather work with a bull$hitter than a schemer!
Let's end this thread here, it's becoming pathetic.

Here's a chap who had the cheek to claim all sorts of experience within an air force environment. I have no knowledge of the particular chap that this thread surrounds; suffice to say little lies can lead to big lies...

I'm with Shadwell the Old. The guy in mind was a dry man and a private pilot instructor at Kinloss. Its possible that he was a very good GA pilot instructor. He certainly told me he was good; at every opportunity. I would not be surprised if he exaggerated his Nimrod role in the manner suggested.
Whether or not the subject of this thread is the person in my mind, I think the OP should confront the guy, whoever he his, and set the story straight within the company. The subject is in a commercial pilot job telling everyone that he was a military pilot, which he was not. This can have serious ramifications if he was able to get the job based on deceit. I don't doubt he has the necessary paper qualifications to do the job, but what did he tell the company at interview about his experience as a pilot?
"Here's my pilots license and other docs, etc. I flew x,xxx hrs on Nimrods, I am a A1 QFI. Despite my requests for it, the RAF has my log book...blah, blah, blah"

Really? A schemer may p!ss you off to some extent whilst he or she contrives to improve their own situation at the expense of others or forward themselves without particuarly endearing themselves to their colleagues but a bullsh!tter may kill you by gaining a position above their abilities then trying to fill it.
Are your initials MS?

Came across this thread yesterday and was intrigued - had a brainwave today though....
I went through 236 OCU (St Mawgan) in 1987 a certain MS was my 'Dry Screen' - gave us a bit of a hard as well! The kipper fleet is a small world and when I was a lead dry on 206 he was in the Sim and we got on fine... different environment I suppose.
Seems a shame someone who was 'professional' aircrew professes to have been a GD pilot....
Is this the MS mentioned perhaps?

Certainly I spent my fair share of time at the club (summer only, winter was for skiing), and I know the guy being refered to but I'm not convinced. I can't even remember whether he was actually an instructor or if he just spent a whole load of time there. Anyway, I didn't know him that well but it doesn't fit what I remember of him that he would boast about being something he wasn't.
I of course stand to be corrected. Phew, dry guys eh?

You always struck me as being quite perseptive for an engineer, but I was obviously wrong.
He was/is a very plausible Walt. The way you knew he was being economical with the truth was that his lips were moving!
Remember Jim, stick comes back cows get smaller, stick goes forward cows get bigger (unless you are inverted). Maybe I could pass as a QFI!
