The guy at Gloucester RAF Careers office in the late 90's who said I would get a lot of qualifications in the trade I went for which would help me in Civvie street........Karma is a wonderful thing ::/:
Few years back in sunny kinloss, a shiney SAC-T (Q-OPs) turned up in the bay, ah he had some stories:
1. Designed a 7 blade prop for Westland, who then paid him a huge amount of cash (Bullsh*t)
2. Had a lovely audi which he had debaged as it was the A3? version and did not want it stolen, pity the lad's pointed out he was missing a dif from it (Bullsh*t)
3. He was also the owner of a fantastic superbike, however was always in the garage down south (Bullsh*t)
4. And to finish off, this lovely little tinker had a few properties down south, which he was renting and making a mint (Bullsh*t)
Most of these stories came out just after someone else had made a comment in the tea bar.
God l don't miss the ape like sh*te at all, as also possibly the most dangerous of "techies" l have had the misfortune to meat.

Best one I met was back at a Tonka training unit near Thetford early 80's.
He had already entertained us with how he was in the spare seat (is there one?) in a Vulcan that buzzed both the Whitehouse AND the Pentagon.
AFAIK that event was a year before he was even born, and the Vulcans entered US airspace unchallenged but certainly didn't "buzz" anything.
A visiting Tonka had the first BOZ-107 any of us had seen. Our hero asks what it was so I told him it was a combined chaff (true) and Photon Torpedo dispenser
After baiting him with 20 minutes of BS about how the Photon Torpedo is a miniature rocket that acts as a decoy drone, he pipes up with--yes I remember them we had them at Scampton on Vulcans.
Knew a guy that refused to admit his real age and insisted that he was in his mid 20s despite having a head of thinning grey (all over) hair and skin like leather.
Additionally he would show everyone a picture (he only seemed to own one) of his long term girlfriend who nobody had ever met as she never come to social events with him (she looked like a model by the way and way out of his league). He told us he was taking her on the holiday of a lifetime on his upcoming leave but when he came back and we asked to see his holiday snaps he told us he had forgotten to take any.
He also makes a mint from his numerous shares in various pharmesutical companies.
Best just to nod and smile I find, why disturb their fantastical little world when it clearly makes them so happy.
His first name wouldn't be Fred would it?
Got a few new ones from this tool..
He pulled the black box off XV179, funny that when the fcuker hasn't been on det in over 8 years...

If you get the chance, head down to recruit gdt ( or whatever they call it now.) Meet the worlds most unconvincing liars! We've been hiding crazy liars down there for ages to terrify the basics. Makes me proud to be a rock! Only true experts can lie that badly!DT_Xtremez_31:
