Freight

A begging note!

Several moons ago,someone posted an hysterical reply regarding Albert crew on long haul and it described 24hrs in the life of.....It was approx 70-80 lines long and really really funny.
Having left HM's employ I am now hauling freight and after relating this thread to a guy I work with, I tried in vain to find it again but no joy. Can anybody please help.

All offers will be diligently pursued!

Thanks.

It was on a thread called "RAF pilot duties", and I think it was quite early on; first page maybe. I don't think I've got the energy to read it again - I nearly hospitalised myself laughing last time !

I hadn't seen this post before - V Funny!
However I think that this is hardly an accurate representation, I mean the crew only had two meals! and where are the doughnuts??

The other things he forgot were the aromatic flight deck...and I don't mean from cooking! The speed with which the Ge had a hammock erected and was horizontal. Apart from that it brought back many happy memories of the "Ascot Shuffle" ! (42 years worth!)
