Hi there, I stumbled on e-goat when I did a search for TPF Marham. I found the TPF sumpies thread and it brought back some memories. That thread is closed now otherwise I would have posted there. "it's-me-isn't-it" posted these wise words:-
"
I was there 88- 94 with the mad FS Strapper
I remember him well ,especially the Fruit salad incidents.
"FFFFruit SSSSalads are banned"

Now that made me giggle. I suddenly remembered driving to Watton at 04.00 hrs one morning and tywrapping a 3' x 2' fruit salad wrapper to a lampost at the end of FS Strapper's street. I also remember the next two days were taken up with the entire TPF staff being interviewed to try and discover the culprit. I believe that he reported the incident to the RAFP and that roars of laughter could be heard from the other end of the phone.

I also have fond memories of being the instigator and editor of that fine publication, The Pink Flamingo. I was quite surprised how much I got away with. I remember our Luftwaffe exchange flight commander dashing into the crewroom with his English/German dictionary after reading the article about him saying, "Cpl G...... was ist "follically challenged?"

Despite reading some adverse comments about TPF, I quite enjoyed it. Does anyone know if there are any plans to turn TPF over to civilian contract? I still live in the area and work at Norwich airport. I wouldn't mind working at TPF again as a civvy.

Bitburger, I'll take that as a compliment from you. :PDT_Xtremez_28:

I was trying to figure out who you were and I admit I was thinking along the lines of Arch/Merv/Kev. I'm not sure I would have figured you out before you sent the PM. I was searching some of your old posts for some clues. BTW, I think you owe me the royalties from that "Top spanner" story you told a couple of years ago, although admittedly you made some changes to protect the innocent.

You must have kept a copy of "The Pink Flamingo" because you couldn't have recited that story from memory. I've got the master copies of all the editions up in my attic somewhere. I'll have to get them out and have a look.
 
Welcome and enjoy Vendee.......hope Bitty ain't been too bad ......then again he is one of our MOD/Admins so it is expected of him !!

Crack on.................:PDT_Xtremez_09:
