    Luckily for me it was on the ground. I'd gone out to Omaha to fix their plane and they were supposed to give me a lift back to Scotland.
    They landed in Summerside in Canada to pick up lots of lobsters for a big party the Sqn was having but they bought so many there wasn't enough room and the captain had to make a decision about what was more important, lobsters or the bloke who'd just mended his aeroplane.
    I spent a week there before I could blag a lift back with a USAF plane.

    Yes, that crew definately showed me my place in the pecking order.

    The strange thing was that a couple of months later they had aircraft engine problems in Germany and I was sent out to fix it for them. Blowed if I couldn't fix it and they had to lug all their suitcases onto a train and go back to Scotland the long way. Shame!
    I waited until they were on the train and then phoned RAF Kinloss to say the aircraft was now ok but my crew had decided to travel home overland.
    About 4 hours later a Kinloss aircraft dropped off a new crew and we were back in Scotland before the original crew had even got on the ferry.

    I had plastic surgery on my arm when I was 1.5 years old because of burns - I was one of the youngest people to have had it, without it, I would not have full use of my arm now.

  19. DoE was for puffs in Goretex, or so I thought in my youth, having spent most of it building dens, making fires, messing about in the woods and going on various outdoor adventures....who needs maps and walking boots?

    with hindsight, it would've been a great thing to do at that age....
     
  20. Was it loose? Around the hoose?
