Ex RAF F4 Phantom Crews
One of the guys involved with the annual F4 TDPU, has commissioned a breitling aerospace watch which is to be made available to ex RAF (and exchange) F4 crews. It seems that not everyone got the info. If anyone is interested, PM me and I will pass on the details.

Maybe they got it, but are not interested because they have a life.

Can't understand why people who are not interested can be so bitchy.

Nor can I soddim, nor can I. The down-side of Prune; smart arsed tw*ts who think that their childish opinions are worth broadcasting to the world.

...ah but envy towards those who flew the mighty toom from those who never got near is a well recognised personality trait

One great joy of flying the F4 was that twits didn't.

Ex F4 crew watch
I agree with your first comments Soddim and Forget. Sod 'em and forget 'em.
That said, there was the odd twit... Scottish Group Captain, wheels up roller at Leuchars...

You have a point Exmil. However, neither was a complete twit - one was much better in the corridors of paper power and the other at the keyboard!

True Soddim.
My first hand experience of the first twit was in the air and on the ground - I maintain my opinion regardless of rank reached. For a second opinion, he was awarded "The Most Hated Aircrew" award (twice!) by the Linees down south. The other got an F15 exchange. How does that work!

ZH875.

What's your problem? Do you object to me passing information on to other ex F4 aircrew?

Thank you for the offer.

Have nice Rolex (a real one) but as I am now an impoverished has-been, I cannot afford two timepieces.

I blame my GCM.

Nope, no problem, in fact I am so happy that you used two messages on different days to get your message across, was that for the elderly readers amongst the F4 fraternity?

Are you auditioning for Jongleurs? It would be good if it was funny. Go find another forum and be a w*nk*r there.

ZH either got out of the wrong side of the bed today, or split his colostomy bag - probably annoyed at the fact that he's overdrawn at the spermbank.
