Careful Specaircrew, you of the Lions, your anonimity will be compromised, you are one of perhaps 20 and we already know the one of the canine breed. Anyway your lineage sounds very honorable so good luck to you and all that now serve the Lion.

Regards (Light-heartedly!)

Stopstart: Brilliant mate. May I suggest a minor AL1-

2008L – Arrive one minute late at co-pilot’s room to discover he has gone. Adjourn to hotel bar. Crew member visited this location 7 years ago. Remembers a fantastic bar. Set out to find bar.

2230L – Finally arrive at fantastic bar - now re-named 'The Blue Oyster'. Decide to stay for 1 beer.

2230.001 - Leave Blue Oyster. (minus Nav - "I've paid for this beer. I'll bluddy drink it").

Of course WIWOS we always had at least 3 GEs to lead us astray..

Congratulations Stopstart on a splendid piece of comedy!
However this thread seems to have digressed into people either congratulating SS or talking about miscellaneous things.

So: could someone answer the original question. For example, what would someone on a FJ squadrons daily duties include? And if they did fly what would they be doing?

Thanks

Indeed, SS, as FrostyBollocks has pointed out....but maybe you'd find it more convincing coming from Homer Simpson?

"Heh, heh, heh...it's funny because it's true..."

How come my last two posts are both numbered 62?

Talking

Stopstart. Hilarious! Even better than 'A Day in the Life of Flying Officer X' which used to feature in Air Clues in the 60s!

Tiger_Moth: Since noone else is bothered I shall take it upon myself to answer your question. Your average pilot who flies fast jets spends his days wnaking cats - it's all the same you see (alltogethernow..) Rotary-tary, the Puma's the kite for me...
