This is a source of some worry!
What is the link between R***ies cannon and SeaFurys arse??

Spent two tours there as a Sapper in the 70s. One day a Scout landed for fuel, and the pilot walked in the main building wearing an RE capbadge. How did you get those, says I pointing to his Wings. And the rest is history, as they say. :ok:

Shurely Shome Mishtake?
 

Diamondglider....promised dit on Geordie Haswell.....
 

When we first went to NI in the Wessex, I was a sprog crewman on 72 Sqn and was learning the way of the World from the 'hairies' like Geordie Haswell.
To set the scene; in those days the crewman would monitor HF as a Flight Safety Net. So on takeoff we would check that it was working OK and then monitor it during flight. The atmospherics on the net could be quite intrusive, crewmen had to put up with it but other crew members would de-select the HF rx button to get a bit of peace.
One day, Geordie Haswell (ex British Rail fireman shovelling 40 tons of coal a day to keep the steam up! - good skills in the Wessex :}) departed Aldergrove to go tasking in the Province. Sometime later I took off to do some other Province tasking and after takeoff I tuned in the HF radio and did a radio check with Ops. That went OK so I settled down in the cabin to monitor the nav. I then became aware of an unusual sound on the HF which sounded like someone singing the letter oh (O) but in one long sound: 'Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhh' I said to the pilot 'Have a listen to HF there's a weird sound I can't make out' He selected his HF rx button and there was the sound nonstop but getting fainter 'Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'
'That's strange don't know what that is' Then the 'Oh' sound stopped and continued with 'klahoma with the wind gan whistling doon the playne'
The fact it was in a broad geordie accent gave the game away; obviously Geordie Haswell was having a boring Province task. :}

I once witnessed a cab have an 'RT failure' when a life saving medivac to Dublin was about to be cancelled, despite having a premature baby already on board and en-route.

The Captain may well have been a PItheA regarding TV remote controls but I for one was a very happy chappy when he declared "Difficult will call by landline from destination".

Of course it was an 'army' helicopter and I think it quite sad that the negative press of the miltary in NI was never balanced by the good that was also brought to the table.

FOLA Member raises ugly head
 

19-year old that has been banging Mrs Robinson and caused implosion of NI politics - leading to Bast*rd McGuiness favourite for First Minister.......
has to be elected honourable member?

I don't think so EESDL ..... surely even FOLA's standards would think twice about a 40+ year age difference.......:yuk:

T-Head
 

Nar...

FOLA SOPs, Chapter 3, Para 2, Sub Para B

'Aged between 16 and 60, face and body within limits'

Limits were, of course, subject to the findings of a FCM if seriously challenged.

Unlike the rules used by the occupants of the street-

'one head and no penis'

Clear above and behind? - :mad:

RC lives

Bit picky, evidence would indicate that the basic criteria for the street was that they were 'still warm'.

... ooh careful careful ...... age of consent in Norn Iron was (is?) 17!

Caught a few people out that one ....... :uhoh:

Back on thread chaps.............I don't know if anyone knows this club in Belfast. It used to be on the midlands Club Circuit and for the small amount of 10/- (I really do mean 10 bob!) you would be entertained by professional acts which performed throughout the clubs across the mainland. It was damn good value, good entertainment and good hunting :E!.......Then it all came to an end when a woman enterred the resteraunt down stairs with a bomb in a bag which exploded prematurely, blowing off both her legs and wrecking the place.:{
