Is HarrierNAS a Walt? In the words of that wonderful organ, I think we should be told.

For a supposed product of BRNC or perhaps Cranwell he does have an unusual approach to the use of capitals, and writing in general. Does he ever finish a sentence without using a exclamation mark?



Surely with those attributes he was a Jaguar pilot.

Jeremy Kyle - Fantastic, get some Pickeys, put them in a TV studio and pay them to air their dirty laundry in public and if your really lucky they may even have a fight! Entertainment for the masses.

Jeremy Kyle ?? Jeremy f4c7ing Kyle ??

The standard of crewroon television has gone down drastically. In my day we had the mesmerising effects of Aerobics, OZ style.........

Hubba Hubba Grrrrrr.

No munters or pikeys on that show. Oh and back on topic I believe I am unfortunate enough to be working with a Walt. PM me for tips to out him with style. This Walt spotting is turning into quite a sport.

Unfortunate enough? He's an asset. Always remember - guys like him make you look good.

Exactly, forget! We had one in BA (LHR 737) who had done 'everything', including Concorde and the Arrows. I managed to meet him on a night stop in Naples once, and on hearing of his time with the team I had to observe that I had not noticed him sitting on my lap...................

He's not come onto this thread to defend himself yet.....
True, but let’s look at the evidence. Are there any posts by anyone else…

…A newly created username perhaps…..someone obviously crowbarring in the fact that they are a pilot….someone unable to control his capslock while typing…

Ah, Post 14, There you are!

For precise assistance we would need a better idea of his 'exploits'.

Generally though you would need a 4lb breaking strain line and a stout hook

"When I was in [name place] we [name exploit]"

You then bait the hook with some morsel and encourage further elaboration. If you have direct experience then the next bit is easy. Keep feeding until the fish get bigger and bigger and you can then strike.

If you have no direct experience then ask a discrete question here.

"What happened the the fish caught at Masirah?"

"How long did you spend in a snow hole at Goose?"

"What did the AEO, S E, do when the Vulcan crashed in Iran?"
etc etc

Perhaps some of you missed this one with HarrierPilotNAS because the mods canned it.

HPNAS was spouting on about his Harrier exploits when someone suggested he was a Walt. He obviously was, but I suggested he prove his credentials by letting us all know the (fictitious) four digit figure at the bottom right hand corner of the GR9 Pilots Notes.

Guess what – within minutes HPNAS has posted on Mil Aircrew:

Can anyone tell me the four digit figure at the bottom right hand corner of the GR9 Pilots Notes.
What joy

PS.
"What did the AEO, S E, do when the Vulcan crashed in Iran?"
Lifted the very bent rear crew station table because one guy's legs were trapped. ( )

Hmmm. That would be something to do with the on board Iranian interpreter running amok. No?

Wasn't me Guv. My Farsi was rubbish.

Forget, that would do. I was thinking about the cabin being full of dirty and dust thus blinding everyone.

BTW, I wrote the brief for the Iranian observer. I think it had been the first time it had been used. I recall two items: you are not allowed to bring a gun on board and you are not allowed to smoke.

NB He/she posted that under a different username.
