Actually that was my first thought, and sounds like something that could have happened during my time at the Akrotiri Air Cargo section.....

Well JB isn't actually a mover is he....Supply Officer with a Movs Q but not a Mover.

Excellent bloke all the same especially seeing that he spent 2 years trying to get a med downgraded Cpl who was selected each year actually promoted. He didn't suceed but at least he tried.

Not sure about writing up a short Irishman (RIP Paddy) for an MBE though

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Just to be a pedant JB is actually a Logistics Officer (no such thing as a Supply Officer now!). The female ex staish of Wittering is flying high careerwise...just got her one star (and well deserved if I may say so Ma'am!)

But the CO of Wittering doesnt hold command of the flying assets - they come under OC Cottesmore.

Of course - forgot the trades had been changed.


The female staish was another Logistics officer...Slowly the Logistic/Movements officers will take over.

Today the stations...tomorrow the....?

Logistics is the branch of the future when everything flying is remote controlled there will just be a couple of Movements qualified Logistics officers and some techies left we will assimilate you all ha Ha aha ha ha

Erm Well have taken the pills again all is good, of course I realise that I am working primarily as the supporting commander and that in the future I will in fact be a member of the RLC with an "AIR" specialisation....
As for the original thread. It was not being loaded to an aircraft when the incident occured and the army supply all the drivers for them. As for the speculation on the Ex Stn Cdr I don't know. With regard to the old Stn Cdrs wife I will agree that she is a lovely lady and was greatly respected in her own right by all here

It were true, in a manner of speaking, so I am reliably told.
