Not quite. A LT(jg) is not the lowest of the low. The Ensign is the lowest of the low, or as we used to say about the Bull Ensign (most senior of the Ensigns in a ship's wardroom) he was "the most significant of the least significant." Upon promotion, he became "the least significant of the most significant."

"If you don't hit your wheels on the ground every hundred yards, you are not low-flying"

Never had the pleasure of meeting The Red Baron, but his formation brief for Wessex was still known around the OCU when I did my training:

"..we go at 35"

"what, Flight Level 35?"

"No. Torque 35"

(ISTR the Wessex was restricted to 3200ftlb of torque)

I think that I should point out that post #21, though ascribed to me, is presumably by T28B who edited it. He corrects a previous post by me which he quotes a part of (though ascribed to MPN11!) which has now gone to the great waste bin in the sky.

When PPRuNe Gremlins get to work they don't do things by halves, one must admit (rather like their aviation counterparts!).

Thanks for the correction, T28B. Your point is taken. I forgot that little fleas have lesser fleas and so on ad infinitum...
