funnily enough the last time I got flamed to death on here by the long-term residents and forced to change my nom-de-plume, my proposed new online ID

camelspider was already taken as was camelspyder

Lovely machine, loved walking past her on the way back to the mess when down there in exercise. My Dad used to work on Shackletons at St Eval in the early 50's with 220 Sqn.

I haven't been down to Newquey International for 2 years so diidnt know the Shack had been moved up the hill. How are Kipper Fleet fleet types going to pass the time on the long walk up the hill to the mess from the taxi with no props to move?
