What's in a Name?
Didn't want to have a sex change and call myself Mrs Hepple.
I insisted on waiting for XV275 to come available so that I could take my first passenger in it when I got my G1 rating in 1980.
VX275 had/has (she resides in the RAF Museum store at Stafford) a panel in the cockpit saying it was presented by a Mrs F D Hepple. We used to talk about the aircraft as Mrs Hepple and then write its serial VX275 on the log sheets.

I started off with my first name followed by my last 3. However, I had a serious contretemps with the management who banned me 'forever' for referring to our arabian bretheren in the same way as we did in the RAF. Eventually I kind of won the tug of war and was re-instated but in the meantime I re-registered as Sisemen which is, of course, nemesis backwards because that is what I wanted to be to the management.
But my original is now resurrected in certain parts because sisemen was banned - apparently permanently again - by some partisan mods on JB.
Oh, it all gets far too complicated.....

Favourite so far is Ozymandius
Ozymandius, ex CAS? Ex ruler of a once great empire....
Mine is simple.
I like burning pianos in the Mess.
It's the age-old 'Officers excuse' the next morning.

Strangely enough, nothing to do with Flip Flops, or my love of wearing them.
My name comes from a quiet and unassuming part of the mighty Swing Wing Arrow of Death, the otherwise boringly titled Turbine Pressure Ratio Transducer Unit or TPRT.
Known amongst friends as Flipflopman, due to the shapes on its casting looking not unlike a stick man, with massive feet.
The RB199 part was added after it turned out that somebody on the old PPRuNe system was also called Flipflopman.
And that, as they say, is that!

Terry Pratchett fan. Doctor Cruces is the head of the Assassins Guild before he was assassinated himself. Seemed appropriate at the time.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Unfortunately not, only another 999,999,999 possible middle and surnames to go (or there abouts).
