The move to the common floor-plate is still ahead of schedule, some services seem to be excelling at filling their billets, clearly we can all take some pride in the work undertaken thus far.

In more reflective mood the de-classification of the KH-9 seemed to have passed off without remark over here.
although there was a certain frisson over the preprandial Amontillado when news leaked out at last summer's Medmenham club meeting.

With KH-9 in mind, I was rather reminded of that awful moment during Op MIKADO when a nameless IA told "them" that RHAG was a Navaid at the end of the runway. I had to correct him as my vision of two of 47Sqns finest pilling in to the rotary hydraulic arrester gear as they touched down in Argentina was too much, for even a hardened blunty like me to bear.

One does not know if one should blame the IA in question or their instructor at Wytton?

Must dash, another turgid meeting at Feltham looms
