TankerTrash Nav. quote: 'When I were a lad on t'tankers, when we 'ad a trail on, by six o'clock in't morning we'd been in t'ops block for nigh on two hours slavin over an 'ot flight plan.'


Yes, and then you'd get the Marham - Marham slot (ie Nice and return) and be back home for lunch. Sounds like an easy life to me.

I believe we should make them come in at 0600hrs for met, plan a 4 ship OCA mission, fly it and then debrief it - then do the expenses claim on the piece of sh!t they call JPA having been in work 8 hours.

Why bother with Met? At least aircrew pretended to understand what we said! Most MPs are as thick as two short planks, and not so useful.

Hmm - just checked the logbook - how about:

7 March 1974 - Panther Trail N 103 - MR - Trapani - MR - 6.35 mins,

And IIRC that was the occasion when they cocked up the inflights and all we had was 2 packets of Maltesers to share. Aircrew feeder closed when we landed

Still, no doubt I was able to catch up on a few ZZZs on the way back
