Ascoteers ?
Thread Starter
Loadie stories now developing !
A bit "off piste" for this thread, but could this be the gamete of a new thread. Whilst I, as a mere life form of lower, "hammock like" existence, can see that the RAF Loadmaster is, and has always been, the prime contact between the "uber fliegers" at the front and the freight, passengers, and the rest of us down the back. Surely it's time to bust some myths about the "half winged toaster race" ?
C'mon Loadies lets see a Loadies thread, I have some input.

You are correct ICM. Our first question when the Ascot callsign was introduced was: What the hell does it stand for?

All you have to do is remember where Capt Kirk/Picard (Agegroup dependant) sat on the bridge of the Enterprise and you can work out who the most important member of the crew on Albert was
(Damn, might've just given away my agegroup!)

And yet on the 'Super Hercules' 'Sulu & Chekov' seem to cope perfectly well without 'Kirk' looking over their shoulders...

Don't think Ckekov & Sulu are exempt, the 'Reaper' will get everybody in the end ............... If you believe Popular Mechanics or British Waste O Space

Tourist,
Pray do tell, Navy Ascot ?
Chaps,
You just mentioned the ugliest member of an RAF Aircrew I can remember (L Evans esq.). Troops on motorways etc, but my god, thankfully, the GE fraternity were always selected for their good looks and astounding brain power.
