Ah, classic PPrune - someone puts the actual facts and correct terminology and promptly gets flamed by people who realise they have had it wrong for many years - talk about shooting the messenger.....:)

Classic PPRunNe - someone taking life, and themselves, far too seriously - and having a hissy when people use colloquialisms. And posting stuff on Christmas day no less.

This is an informal place to chat - there are enough anally retentive people at work without having to put up with them here.

First B.737 for Wedgetail conversion due into BHX this afternoon.

Thinking about this... there will be few left from when No.8 traded in its eight screws for four blow-jobs and moved south FROM Lossie?!

Next Summer, No 8 Sqn will have been at Waddington for 30 years. Given that the crews who made the transition south had been at Lossie for a while, and had been in training for a couple of years before that then afaik there are no Shack people left on the Sentry. Even if there is an odd person left, they will be too old to be posted back to a new aircraft.
