Whatever happened to "The Duck"?
 
Whatever happened to the PPRuNe Duck and its globetrotting? I have a vague memory of it returning "home". Did it? Or was I asleep at the time and just dreamed it? :rolleyes:

Old 'Un

There would be very few of the original PPRuNers left who would remember the travels our fluffy friend. in fact a good number of the current ones were probably still in school. :rolleyes: Doesn't time fly when you're having fun.:{

There used also to be a very high standard of quality debate and discussion of aviation this 'n that whilst he was travellin' around. Now its mostly about EBAs, AWA's and whether I should go to this or that interview and who does the best/cheapest B737 rating.

I suspect PPRuNe Duck has either expired of terminal boredom or was irradiated to death in one of them new Xray thingummies.:sad:

Can't say I know anything about the PPRuNe duck however the North Queensland Aero Club duck "DOUG" has seen his fair of adventures lately, both around the beautiful far north and overseas.

Probly got confiscated by some neanderthal security goon, who deemed daffy to be a security risk, on account of him not having an ASIC. :ugh:

Strewth........Now I feel really old. Not as old as Guanty et al, but old anyway. :} I have wondered what happened to the travels of the duck as well. lost track after the second great Pprune server crash.

Clarrie me old

Pretty sure he had the full international airline crew ID which seems to work with the blokes down here. I think the hardest thing for customs and immigration was keeping a straight face when they got the Gen Dec and signed off the departure release.:}

Was this the duck that got bird naped from darwin tower after a tower party (remember tower paries, pre 9,11 alkieda bastards took them from us) and went traveling around the world ?

gaunty 30th May 2007 10:13

'tis true there was talk of that happening to A duck but I think it might have been an ADF duck??

As for the tower duck, prolly got took by one of them feral feline things that lurk over those parts!

Capt Claret 30th May 2007 22:31

Now there is a comment from a very wise person.

Old 'Un 4th Jun 2007 23:07

My old Mum, bless her, used to say "A gentleman never asks a lady her age".

Capt, sir, consider yourself reprimanded :=

Voice, I remain your obedient servant and bow to your superior knowledge.

I presume, therefore, that it is fair to say that the wandering PPRuNe Duck hath returned to wander no more, its wings having been clipped (so to speak).

If the duck was with me right now:E it would be in Wilmington DE, USA.

gaunty 5th Jun 2007 08:37

Wilmington Delaware huh, that's where most people disguise/hide their ill gottens in a good 'ol blind Delaware Trust. :rolleyes: Mebbe Duck was doing a bit of freelancing whilst on tour :E Fess up now??, if I recall correctly you were the last person seen with PPRuNe Duck leaving the country in the direction of Weston Supermare. Anybody actually going to Weston-super-Mare HAS to be guilty of something.:\
