Fairly obvious!

Didn't want to have a sex change and call myself Mrs Hepple.

I insisted on waiting for XV275 to come available so that I could take my first passenger in it when I got my G1 rating in 1980.
VX275 had/has (she resides in the RAF Museum store at Stafford) a panel in the cockpit saying it was presented by a Mrs F D Hepple. We used to talk about the aircraft as Mrs Hepple and then write its serial VX275 on the log sheets.

I started off with my first name followed by my last 3. However, I had a serious contretemps with the management who banned me 'forever' for referring to our arabian bretheren in the same way as we did in the RAF. Eventually I kind of won the tug of war and was re-instated but in the meantime I re-registered as Sisemen which is, of course, nemesis backwards because that is what I wanted to be to the management.

But my original is now resurrected in certain parts because sisemen was banned - apparently permanently again - by some partisan mods on JB.

Oh, it all gets far too complicated.....

Jagdflugzeug....hunter aircraft (fighter) for the 1990s...

You need to know your Biggles books

I joined as GD/N - immediately saw the light after reading the 1930's top-seller, Stick And Rudder by Langesweiche.

Nathan Dennis White by any chance?

Isn't it nine billion and then the stars go out :eek: (Arthur C. Clarke)

Favourite so far is Ozymandius
 

Ozymandius, ex CAS? Ex ruler of a once great empire....

Mine is simple.

I like burning pianos in the Mess.

It's the age-old 'Officers excuse' the next morning.

Def "an old star that has collapsed under its own gravity to form a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole".

Sort of summed me up I thought.

Strangely enough, nothing to do with Flip Flops, or my love of wearing them.

My name comes from a quiet and unassuming part of the mighty Swing Wing Arrow of Death, the otherwise boringly titled Turbine Pressure Ratio Transducer Unit or TPRT.

Known amongst friends as Flipflopman, due to the shapes on its casting looking not unlike a stick man, with massive feet.

The RB199 part was added after it turned out that somebody on the old PPRuNe system was also called Flipflopman.

And that, as they say, is that! :ok:

OldnDaft because, well, I'm old and daft. Adminer by trade and still a proud serving member of the RAF.

I've been known to give the salad bar a wide berth on occasion!

Salad-Dodger

Terry Pratchett fan. Doctor Cruces is the head of the Assassins Guild before he was assassinated himself. Seemed appropriate at the time.

Hmm, amazing what you can find. How's the work at Saxonair?

Favourite radio call of Puma pilots who couldn't remember which MAOT Team was manning the LZ

If it wasn't Motley5, I wasn't there :)

5aday.
Not fruit or salad.

As in "It takes all night to do what you used to do all night"?

From the region of Thunder Bay when making a position report came the call,"Motley One?" made my day.
