Old School Sayings ...

[RAF4Life]

'More time off than the Queen's number ones!' - always a classic

 

[Scottow Horseshoe]

Got a few from Coltishall that always tickled me.......

"Old boy" Mr.Pine a venerable SWO with an AG brevet from his Lincoln rear gunner days had two favourite sayings,
"You remind me of my sister" I answer "Do I sir?" his riposte "Yes and she's Fcuking useless as well!!!" AND

"If you don't get off that grass young man I am going to kick you up the arse so hard you will be kiwiing your teeth in the morning!!"


Also early 80's on the roundabout outside SHQ, guardroom RAF Admin sergeant after someone phoned in the diesel smoke from the standby generator as a "Fire"

"WHAT FCUKING IDIOT PHONED THAT IN?????..............WNAKER!!!!!!!!"


Answer, heard directly behind him(over his shoulder) in the dulcet tones of the station commander.


"I did Corporal"


Abingdon...........A well liked and hilarious bloke called Chris Robinson coined many phrases, the best one being " Come back and tell me when the ink is dry on yer 1250"

Also he was responsible for a major rift between us and the German Airforce after making up a little ditty whilst recovering a GAF Tornado that was in a million bits at Otterburn ranges.

(To the tune of the German national anthem)

"Stupid Fcucking German pilot
Crashed his kite into a hill
Scratched his balls and wasn't looking
Now he's feeling rather ill!"

Finally a last one from MCF (PACF) at Colt


"It wasn't me Chief, it came off in me 'and!!!!"

Absolute classic: army officer pulls up to gate (some doctor from MDHU) SAC doesn't salute (no ranks on them cards and he didn't count the numbers)

Army officer says: "don't you entertain officers in the air force?"

Said SAC says "of course sir..."

and proceeds to do a monkey style dance around the car

"how's that sir?"

obviously gained a fizzer but absolute legend nonetheless

Never aspire to be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced you can't be promoted!

A similar story and, I'm sure, equally an urban legend is the story of an SAC walking along minding his own business (as is his wont!), he passes a General and neglects to salute. The General hollers at the aforementioned SAC, " Hey you, don't you salute Generals in the Royal Air Force?". To which the cocky SAC replies, "No Sir, we don't have Generals in the Royal Air Force!" :: ..... Nice one if you can get away with it.... but somehow, I don't imagine he did!..... DT_Xtremez_30:

Old but Gold...
"Do you know what these 3 stripes are for sonny?"
"No Sarge!"
"They mean I can Read, Write and use a Phone."

RAF Geeks die hard

RAF Geeks die hard

......you know, people that say "Wait One" on the phone. We all know someone like that, my WO says to me while I was on shift - Lock up as normal, and I'll bang out the fire exit.....

Lads on the pi$$ on a round, all go to the bar together to increase the chance of getting served faster. The one that gets served does that "on me" spider hand signal, then when the drinks are drunk, "prepare to move" "move"! DT_Xtremez_17:

Anyone beat that? Any stories?

 

[Chuff Chart]

I know of several people who use tits up for broken, cabs for choppers and kites for planes ::/: And not forgetting the immortal 'On sticks in the shed, donk drop. Need a snec for indies' Ive heard that uttered word for word.

Uttering "twist" after every anal gas expulsion....DT_Xtremez_30: DT_Xtremez_30:

 

[Fablon biff chit]

'On sticks in the shed, donk drop. Need a snec for indies'

For those who speak English?

 

[pie sandwich]

For those who speak English?

"it's tit's on stick's with a double donk change, need a snec for indies"

The aircraft is in the hanger and has been placed on jacks to raise it off the floor, it also requires a double engine change and could someone inform the snco that we require him to perform a independant check of the work undertaken.


Is that better FBC

 

[Fablon biff chit]

I know it as buzzword bingo and it's the only way to keep you awake during a meeting. Had a line once and if you've got the balls to stand up and shout "Line" it's fcuking amazing the looks you get, did it once and by the look of 2 Sqn Ldr's at the meeting, I could have been dragged away and shot...priceless!DT_Xtremez_28:
