I had a call last night from my mate who shall remain nameless, some of you may have met him at JFII last year (he was the tall one with no hair wearing big black boots, he went out with Marcus on the last session), anyway, he's currently bumming around going through Occifer training in the romeo alpha foxtrot.
He called me to gloat that he'd been out in a Chinook all day, they'd travelled the length and breadth of the country, flown rather low up the Thames through London, practiced a few landing and taking off drills in random fields around the country etc and even stopped off to pick up some tea bags landing in the mother in laws garden of one of the crew members.
Anyway, he had a great time and was pleased to inform me that this was percieved as a bit of a jolly for him and his buddies. Marvellous, now I know my tax money is going towards something worthwhile at least, so it must be the rest of you buying TV's for immigrants then.
If you work for the MOD or are associated with then disregard the above story as entirely fictional.
