A few years ago I managed to walk through a metal detector machine at Tenerife airport in full flight kit, including old stlye useful knife, and the machine did not go beep! El guardo nearly woke up he was so surprised, as was I!

During GW2 when kit was short on the ground I found a really useful mini mini torch the size and shape of a plectrum. You could shine it at the press of a sprung loaded button or put it on permanently and clip it to the front of your flying suit (which was green..shortage of kit!) and it would light you up enough that you would make it to briefing without being mown down by Humvees in the desert night. It cost $1.99 in the BX tent and still works today...bloody brilliant!

Beags...I'm with you on the common sense kit that works plc. The amount of notice people take of procurement advice these days you would be snowed under with orders for stuff that might actually serve you or save you.

The old style knife has been on ebay....
Think the last one went for about £40....

Still got one in the shed somewhere...!!!

The new style cutter is pants as a cutter but amazing for peeling an orange!!!!

Strange but true :rolleyes:

already sold 2 brand new flying suits....!!! good profit too !!!
flying boots have been laid to rest..past sell by date...!!!

the inference is YOU THOT i paid for them !!!
take your blinkers off !!

According to the dicionary that I would be inclined to believe the meaning of the word profit is

Profit

What's the definition?


The amount earned after deducting costs from revenue.


Over to you.

My dicionary is spelt

DICTIONARY !!!

Profit is also extra money gained by selling something for more than it cost to buy or make....

If it was free that means

Zero cost
Profit = 100 % more revenue...

Logistics Loader,

As you seem to be so eager to correct everybodys English,
Perhaps you should put your own house in order,


Is it just me, or is anybody else tired of LL's constant ill informed statements on every subject posted on PPRuNe?

Go away LL
 

Well said Rocket. Go away LL.

He/she does seem to have a very ill informed opinion on most Prune topics............but as he/she is of the "baggage crushing" persuasion it comes as no great surprise:rolleyes:

all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced

I was wondering when people would tire of LL.

back to the knife.... try 'pocket rescue tool'. - German, good quality, expensive but does fit perfectly in the pouch intended for the new plastic ****. Just dont tell your trappers..

website such as:

I found that Taylor's Eyewitness range has great pocket knives too. Bargain prices and Sheffield steel. Perfect if you dont want to spend more than 20 quid.

Call that a survival knife? This is a survival knife...

new aircrew knife gets a big thumbs up from me....... never found a better tool for peeling an orange without stabbing the fleshy parts.
Couldn't do that with the old one!!!!!!

Peeling oranges AND cutting through the kevlar rigging lines of a spanking new 'chute...thats squip buisness for ya ;)
