    Lockdown is here

    Benefit is i have more time to tinker uninterrupted in my man cave; until my Missus realised i’d have the time to do those jobs “i was getting round to doing”. Fortunately, most of those involve going out to builders merchants, which are now sadly shut! Stay safe mate!

    Hasta La Vista

    Well, after 37 years and 82 days spanning 5 decades of service, tomorrow is my final day in the RAF, having achieved all my aspirations and leaving at the pinnacle of my trade. I've got some great memories to take with me into retirement (and some I'd rather forget). If I were to ask myself...

    Hi-vis vests on the ASP

    Sorry to hear you lost two friends, was this at Coningsby by any chance as I seem to remember a couple of lads from the OCU killed/injured, this was after the pans & perry tracks had been toned down, so even less contrast. There was a local order to attach hi-vis strips to cold/wet gear and...

    Stupid Snag Awards

During your AMM training you will cover all aircraft trades anyway and even after completing technician training, be able to assist the heavies. If you find that your chosen trade is...

    Double standards

    Quote "Iraq 4 years on is bad news and it seems that everyone likes to hide the news that folks are dieing out there" Trust me the news is suppressed far more close to home than that!!
