Welcome to the Goat PE, bet you have some good "pull up a sandbag" stories - Enjoy the madness in here!
 
Thank you Buphoonery and Biggles, with regards to "pull up a sandbag" stories, I might have . At my eldest daughters wedding, My daughter, my wife and my mother kept bugging me about seeing my speech as they thought they were going to be embarrassed by this old (drunken) fart with his 'when I was in the RAF war stories' or the 'my daughter and I never got on speech' but decided I would wing it with possibly the shortest dads speech "I know some of you are expecting to sleep now while I pull up a sandbag, but I just want to thank you all for celebrating my daughters wedding and to raise your glasses in a toast to the bride and groom", I then sat down to a stunned silence it was a clasic moment.
 
Hi Exerk you are correct, it was the first two years out of training at Scampton on 230 OCU, best two years of my career, nearly got to do the Major on 558 at St AThan just after they had doen the same to the Lancaster, but the MOD decided not to bothere boy did I give them some grief over that decision.

Technically I could say no as the first Flying Flat Iron was the Gloster Javelin and I aint that old .
 
Ah, but all riggers, ex or otherwise, being god's children never show their age so it would be difficult to tell :PDT_Xtremez_30:
 
Welcome to the goat! Enjoy and join in. Never got a chance to work on the mighty Vulcan having joined in '83 but the buccs I ended up on after training were from the same era
