Ladies, don’t you think it’s a sign of desperation when we bring our own beer goggles along to the summer ball.

I wish they wouldn’t line these Sidcot suits with lambs fur, it’s like Velcro when taking it off.

That was rather quieter than I had expected. Sorry about the uninspiring offering! I had been thinking along the lines of ... "Oh look, it's Hoskins, the famous 20-minuter. In my experience more mile a 5-minuter, but you can't win them all."

Anyway, to clear the air for next week's activity ...

The combination of our silver uniform and the helicopter's black means we can be clearly seen in all conditions apart from fog.
