    Mick Massingham RIP

    It is with very heavy heart that I have heard that Mick Massingham passed away last week after a long struggle with Cancer. I trained as a VC10 GE under Mick, and flew with Chrissie, for a large part of my GE career and a nicer guy, and couple, will be hard to find. I am sure that I speak for...

    What were you doing on this night 16 years ago?

    On the ground with a 10 in Akrotiri turning it around to take another load in. Overheard a senior BZN Ops officer arguing with another lowly Nav. He was pulling rank, insisting that HE should rotate home for an important meeting. Needless to say he won, (and got a Kuwait medal in the...

    Trade Call.

    WE have a slick of sumpies, (cause we are). A loom of fairies, (because they are a tight bunch of *****). What do you call a group of riggers or leckies? And why?

    Free Aircrew Rations?

    Wobbly, Just read some of the link. I suppose that covers the AT/AAR crews but it short changes the jockies in the single cockpit aircraft, doesn't it. No chance of a good nutrional, balanced meal there. I was involved in a 10 hour trail back from Bahrain a few years ago, with 6 Harriers...
