Do You Know Who I Am?
 

Favourite "DYKWIA" story - Wigan and Great Britain Rugby League hero, Gary Connolly, turns up in Wigan club bar after the match. In front of him in the beer queue are a bunch of Bradford fans, ordering the bar.

Eventually he loses patience - "Do you know who I am?"

Barmaid - "Eh up lads! We've got a lad here don't know who he is!"

In the late '80s I ran the Supply Squadron at RAF Laarbruch for 3 years. One of my Cpls was the 'wind up' kid of the century, and over a year he ‘took out’ most of the hierarchy, including me, with hilarious results.
He then got too ambitious, and ‘spoofed’ the Station Commander!
I received a 'one way' phone call from the Boss, and Operation Gotcha was launched with all the experience gained from a previous existence of 22 years in the Royal Marines.
The Cpl worked in a hardened supply shelter on the airfield, so a practise fire drill was announced for his shelter over the Station tannoy system. A fire engine roared over there, and a smoke generator was set off by the entrance. Two ‘firemen’ dashed into the shelter, and shouted that the Cpl was a casualty. He was stripped of his clothes, and a respirator, smeared on the inside with black camouflage cream, was strapped to his face. On the pretext of checking for broken bones, the ‘firemen’ put black cam cream hand marks all over his body. He was then strapped onto a stretcher, and transported across a very rough airfield on the bonnet of a landrover, supposedly heading for the Medical Centre. Instead, the vehicle stopped at the Supply Squadron, the stretcher was propped up against a wall, and all our hero's 'victims' were there waiting to take photos.
He announced a truce shortly after!
The ‘firemen’ turned out to be a Pilot Officer, who was the Cpl's boss and had been a victim many times, and yours truly.

The Best Prank Ever?...


Must go to the clerk in the Air Ministry who Formed the RAF on the 1st April 1918. The longest running April fool ever!

Time to take cover

Our Ops Adjt at a secret airbase in Lincolnshire was off on leave up in Tyneside when the usual round robin volunteers list came around. Now his posting preferences were - overseas, nearer home and recruiting. A plum posting came up.

I naturally volunteered him on his behalf.

The letter from PMA - genuine even - said that it was an absolute pleasure to be able to accept a volunteer for such a demanding job and at the same time meet all three preferences for posting.

When he was walking to work first day back he was congratulated by OC PMS but not told why. When he go to Ops there was a message that OC Ops wanted to see him after his trip.

In the office were two petrified clerks. Me, I was well away in the bunker.

You can imagine when he opened the letter from PMA to find he was posted to Aldergove as a recruiter. He never forgave me.

The mighty plastic pursuit ship (Puma) had a serious problem with cabin door runners wearing out and becoming insecure.

OC Eng (at the home of the Support Helicopter) had a really good idea. All Pumas would be flown without doors until further notice. 33 Sqn (Norway's Bloomin' Cold Ltd) weren't too impressed.

OC Eng came out of happy hour to discover his car was minus its doors...served him right.

Certain Naval Air Station in Somerset..... new SATCO appointed to sort out ATC after a mid-air collision. After giving everyone a hard time he grabs a passing Naval Airman, demands to know his name and tells the NA that he wants cup of coffee on his desk on the hour, every hour. The NA dutifully does as told. Everything goes swimmingly until SATCO goes on 2 weeks leave. NAM continues to make a cup of coffee "on the hour, every hour". When SATCO opens his office door he was faced by 14 days worth of putrid cups of coffee on EVERY flat surface, floor, desk, window sill and even his chair. Funnily enough he made his own brews after that!
