Look out Bristol, I'm airborne.

First assessment for hopefully my next job tomorrow.
I'm off into the sky for my first air observer tests.:yikes:

Not sure if I should fill my pockets with waterbombs or take things a bit more seriously. Must admit, I am quite surprised I have got this far. (Which is no-where:D)....yet.

May luck go with you Birdman..... Jammy B.

I was a trained Air Reconnaisance Officer in my old Force and vacated to Officers Mess on a weeks course every year with the University Air Squadron. The pilots of which took great pleasure in trying to make you air-sick - in my case without success as I honked up when I was in the ATC and they say once having been airsick you never are again.

Seems a chopper copper is a fantastic job.

"Grinning like a wanking Jap" is the phrase they use in Viz to describe a happy man, I believe...!

Could have done with you last night, Mike - was cutting the hedge in the one spell of dry weather & it got dark on me. The searchlight would have been very useful...

[philthy]

Good luck SBM

Does this mean we can expect to see This happening then?
