Steve,
ex-MN here - Clan Line, Bank Line - just a distant memory that seemed to happen to someone else! I didn't have a stash until 2000 or so ( but I've made up for it since then )
Dave

Tugs and banana run - imagine a callow youth leering at all that suntanned female flesh during Carnival - mmmmmmmmmm

It's a warm welcome from me as well. I look forward to seeing you and your builds. You are amongst a great group of people.

Alan,
Were you doing missionary work up there?

[Airborne01]

[AlanG]

Been all over. Southern England, Wales, Germany and Scotland. Too many different countries to say when you talk about detachments. Some hot and some bloomin' cold.

24 years in the mob - like you can count the number of decent detachments on one hand - being RAF what was your favourite hotel?

[AlanG]

Ones with room service and a pool

17 years myself.

[Airborne01]

Regiment? Nice suntan from all those pools maybe - lots of posey photos, definitely not face, arms and knees then!

[AlanG]

We don't have regiments lol. Squadrons are our thing. Was on 14 Sqn and 15(R) Sqn with Tornado GR1 & GR4. Mostly did aircraft bay support, which was fine by me as we got to stay on the detachments longer than the Sqns did. So a basic bay support detachment to Cyprus and Canada was 10 weeks minimum where as the Sqns only did 2 :smiling3:

[Airborne01]

Sounded like a Rock Ape for a moment - I apologise unreservedly - wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy!!! Love Tornado's, Buccaneer's, Harriers and any airframe that looks rough, tough and fit for purpose! Generally don't like pretty ships except, perhaps, Hunters and their ilk!

I'll just jump in here, now that you Lads are all in the sack. Welcome to the Asylum......it appears you are getting on well with the other inmates.......looking forward to seeing what you have to post up.
Cheers, Rick H.
