Right,
I've watched this thread with interest - the sort of interest all aircrew have, automatically, as a result of waiting for someone to crash and burn in spectacular manner, but I am damned if I can work out the crossword clue!
I went back through the OCU in 89/90 (Kuwait etc made that a VERY long OCU) and was a lead on 206 in the early 90's, I knew the odd flying club guy, and would hazard (as a complete sidetrack) that Shadwell the Old might be an ex AEO Captain, (I recall a memorable briefing, where his Nav described Campbeltown et environs as 'Shadwell's D*ck').... but I still can't figure out who Walt is....somebody PM me, just to satisfy my curiosity...even if I couldn't give a monkey's what he claims he was provided he's not flying my 747 home next month!

Shadwell,
You've changed, calling an Eng perseptive, a few other words beginning with P, yes, but perseptive?
Don’t worry Jim; you are still Das Humderspimal’s saviour.

Ah the duty spelling Nazi, Shadwell has corrected lots of my attempts at the reading and the writing over the years so he is allowed a few mistakes, besides that’s what F7 button is for. Don’t forget what's important in the Service; punctuation, punctuation, punctuation!

Biggus,
I may have problems with big words, but I see on the Afghanistan for years thread you seem to have trouble with the little words (truely vs truly). Your degree clearly didn't help you to learn to sprell. People in glass houses.
The sprell was intentional.
Maybe you should have called yourself Dick
Regards
Shadwell the illiterate bade spellister

Shadwell,
I can see that retirement hasn't mellowed you........how is life on the rigs?
It was also meant to be tongue in cheek, if you will check all 500 odd of my posts you will see that I am not generally a spelling Nazi, but after all my years of indoctrination in AEO baiting I couldn't resist...... besides, mine was a science degree, and it is a well known fact that scientists can't spell......

Dinner guests from hell!
Ahh, MS, I had the pleasure 
of sitting next to him during a 201 Sqn Association dinner.
The name the Aussie's give to Kevin Peterson comes to mind - FIGJAM (F*%k I'm Good, Just Ask Me).
It was the longest night of my life and nearly caused me to lose the will to live!

Dave - commiserations - nearly quite good
I met his mate, D*cky D*wes, in the Sgts Mess bar after a Finningley airshow and unwittingly spoke to him for a whole 15 minutes
I was awarded a "medal" (sandwich board) by his mates that read "Daily Bad Boy"
Unfortunately, I had to wear it till endex because I couldn't find someone else to talk to him for 15 mins 2 secs or better

Thunderbird7 said,
Ah yes, that's what the badges said but as one German gentleman pointed out they actually translated as "the penis of the female dog"
Der Hundes Pimmel was actually the Dogs Kn*B.....or so I'm told.
Anyway is Chas out of the Sauna yet?
I believe the correct spelling is: Das Hundes Pimmel. Long live Cuxhaven.

Look, that badge was designed after an awful, awful lot of long island iced teas somewhere around the South Dade area ("Actually no, I didn't like your dancing"). Anyone familiar enough with german grammer to spot the mistake frankly deserves all they get. And anyway, it was going to be 'Les valseuses des chien', but I couldn't fit it on.
