100 Sqn demise
Ladies and gents,
100 Sqn, RAF, is scripted to operate its final flight with the Hawk T1 on Thu 24 Mar, with all due ceremony and excellence. Notwithstanding decorum, may I ask....does anyone remember the ingredients of Green Dragon ? Yours sincerely, Ekaton etc |
GREEN DRAGON
From the deep dark recesses of my somewhat addled brain I seem to have recovered the following:-
Take 1 Jug Insert - doube gin, double vodka, double bacardi (151 if you can get it) and double Bols Blue Curacao,, Fill jug with equal parts fresh orange juice and lemonade. Then pour into 1/2 pint glasses and await the "call" Ekaton!! |
I think it probably varied by location - and the time of the evening!

Alas on the regional news tonight on the ITV network, the Stn Cdr was referred to as Capt. One hates the total lack of research and general knowledge by British journalists.

That would explain the Reds flying over Ripon, north-bound, at 1400 yesterday, I assume.

Not always the journalists to blame. My son is the aviation desk editor of a wellknown aviation/defence publication. His background is that he was brought up on many married patches and spent some considerable time in the harrier simulator at Wildenrath in return for making many cups of tea for the residents. He has constant rows over the correct rank titles that have been changed by editorial staff after the copy has left his desk. He only sees the changes made after publication. Group Captain changed to Capt seems the most common error. |

It is like my bad use of grammar that is so frequently mentioned on here as a retort back. .

Crikey, that’s 46 to 52 years ago - I think the last of the Harriers left Wildenwrath in 1976 having arrived in 1970. Surely he’s done something connected to military aviation more recently than that?

It's hard to think that the North of England now has no RAF aircraft squadrons left.

When I used to order it, the ingredients were; Creme de Menthe, Whiskey of your choice (mine was Drambuie), soda & ice.

And while we are on about journo's, last week one of the local one's in Newcastle called the A1 in Northumberland a motorway - imagine!! The section in question isn't even a dual carraigeway... :rolleyes: |

Levelling up. Leeming would be a handy spot for an Amazon depot.
