Aircraft Wash Team and FLMs

[Jim_P_Pulfrew]

I know for a fact that there was never anybody like this on the line with me when I were a lad who could marshal as well as this, and any chick on the wash team usually had a face like a plasterers radio and the body of Ronnie Barker!

Of course, if you click the vid once playing it opens in a new window, then click HD....

Wonder why they decided to include the firemen...er, fire fighters...errrrm, Fire and Rescue Service team members or whatever they're called this week?

Spam Hunter T7s? How's that?

 

[Jim_P_Pulfrew]

I think they are from Delta Jets based at Kemble but I suppose to keep the septic market happy the stars and bars had to feature heavily. I don't think it is the first time, didn't Fatboy Slim do much the same with a Hunter in his 'Bird of Prey' vid?

Was it my imagination that there was a quick flash of a Bone in the background?

Should you not keep your personal protruberances to yourself?

You are right - it was filmed at Kemble about a month ago as i saw them whilst me and the little one (daughter) were heading for the cafe /restaurant next to the ATC tower for a bite to eat.

oi Jimps- there was at least one person like that marshalling you when you were still in- I still remember Banja Luka you know! LOL

 

[Jim_P_Pulfrew]

Shouts, if I could have got you marshalling dressed in one of them outfits I would have stayed in!!!!!


So what exactly is it you think you remember from Banja Luka..................

a highly excitable GE on top of a K! LOL

have you seen the naked liney calender hanging around?

Another really good wash team.

Another really good wash team.

Another really good wash team. The soundtrack really grates though, the Ruskies are just so sixties.



It seems that the Aussie trolley dollies don't like it though, that surprises me as you'd have thought that their general culture would be a little more forgiving. LINK

Camper than a field full of Scouts' tents.

Too damned rare to find a WAF like that, let alone on the flight line.
