Inaccurate Nimrod Article
 
Another inaccurate journo report in JETS mag.

Nobody flies as high as 300' cause the jam expands out your doughnut.

No I did not buy it but I know a man who did!

TimC 1st Nov 2001 22:09

What effect does it have on all the pies?

:D :D :D

BAE employee 1st Nov 2001 22:52

No effect on pies whatsoever - the co-pilot and AEOs eat them before they get that high! At least, I would have when I was one.

Charlie Luncher Haven;t seen the article - wassit say? :D

Hey Charlie

Are we talking about real jam and real doughnuts here, or is it one of your perverse euphemisms?!

Worried of the Old World

Fortunately it doesn't affect the Danish pastries or the chocolate eclares quite as badly :cool:

However, flying higher does increase the cooking time for the chicken tikka, pork balti and sweet-n-sour chicken :(

MAD MARK!

Have just got hold of a copy, and very informative it is too :D

Remember chaps "its all about keeping momentum" :cool:

Charlie Luncher 2nd Nov 2001 21:58

DS me old

No mention of lard butties
but the doughnuts are real and dusted with one of the essential food groups - sugar.

Tim C open a frozen pie and you will find an expansion zone to avoid loss of contents. Unlike a siggie gut after 12 largers.

Does the height at which the duffnuts ooze jam depend upon whether they have been heated before serving. Could MOD PE carry out a full test project. I suppose if the crew over-heated the duffnuts and climbed then the aircraft could carry out some jamming.

Is it still the case that the AEO stops all food going forward of the tac area?

:) :) ;)

Homer's favourite now takes second fiddle in the rush to the galley - TRAYS OF DANISH PASTRIES, 5 at a time (the icing sugar really messes with your eyebrows though!).

DS - hope you've taken note, the new jet will need bigger drawers in the galley as the trays are quite large. They'll need soft edges too to avoid soft tissue damage when thrusting one's face in to retrieve the last of the danish before the other guy.

The jammy dodgers still get cut from the variety type biscuit packets before the wrapper is removed.

Aah, bring back the arctic roll!

Bad company 5th Nov 2001 13:47

Wot, no DCS?

Have the Navs found out how to work the water boiler yet? :D

stbd beam 6th Nov 2001 00:27

No and ............ no.

fergineer 6th Nov 2001 05:31

Ah DCS that brings bck memories, took my drivers ages to find out that we had them on every flight!!!!! Amazing what would not get past my seat. :D :D :D :D

Charlie Luncher 8th Nov 2001 21:37

Ice station kilo urggggggh

Enough with the jammy doughnuts please boys. Did my first trip in the MADDOG P3 yesterday (now theres a clue!) and had to provide my own rations. Couldn't find a trace of jam in any of the half-dozen I picked up from 'Dunkin'. Not only that, this flippin' heap has not got an oven or water heater that works. 6hrs 50mins without a coffee. Absolute murder! Still the foot-long sub (the eating kind!) hit the spot though.

Did I tell you about the LOA. Yeah probably!!! :cool: :D

Ghost Dancer 12th Nov 2001 01:43

DCS, Arctic Rolls, fine, but no mention of the Cordon Bleu of Galley Haute Cuisine...I refer, of course, to Honkers!!!

:D :D :D

Mighty....

Prob one crew next w/end - then me in a fortnight's time. This is the plan at the mo, dunno if this means turnovers or supplementation. Currently getting this info reliably even tho I am on leave till Mon.

So is the joke out yet? We expect to be met off the steps with a fleet of hire cars & the keycards to the Intercont rooms.......or maybe not.

Holding you to the beer...

Mightycruseven 18th Nov 2001 20:14

:confused:
Stbd Beam...dude!
You obviously havn't heard?
Can't get u that beer now..........
It's RAMADAN here, we are DRY FOR 4 WEEKS!

mighty punter 20th Nov 2001 03:42

Quote fromm my old lead wet-the best in Nato, and yes he does,yes he does-clue, on a transit stateside(so wetties inactive cept for the flt deck FHM swap) " so when are one of the front end going to make a brew then?"
God love him but how many folk were working at the time??
Obviously his inactivity wanted to increase the size of his man breasts-of which he had a large pair!!
anyway see you all for a wee bit of desert yuletide action !!
