Cheeky way to cut servicing costs...?

[strat]

Since I am in the RAF if I ask the engineers nicely they will do some of the service work necessary me. Only they don't charge silly money - rather a crate of lager!!
Does anyone know if i'd be able to get some of the work done by them and the rest done by a garage so I can save money AND get that stamp in the book?
I think i know the answer to this one but it's worth a try!
Thanks all.

typical growbag....the 'chaps' will easily do routine stuff but DON'T get them to change your oil, there are certain pitfalls here, and don't source parts from anyone other than a specialist

SO you know a few aircrew that pull this one then?

it was a way of life when I was serving....the sparkies cars had headlights out etc, the sooties cars belched smoke and the riggers cars were usually full of rust.....and the growbags would hope for an engine change for a packet of fags

A packet of fags? That's just being cheap. At least I offered a couple of crates of John Smiths!!
