Loaded with the aid of bloody minded stupidity, that's a 3.6m long trailer. It's not strapped down properly yet, that's just to stop the wind blowing it about.

Başınız sağolsun.

Did your dad forgo the promotion route to carry on flying? A friend of mine here in the village left the RAF as a Flt Lt after 30 years - I asked him if he'd come up through the ranks :lol: but it seems if you want to carry on as aircrew you give up promotion which would require you to fly a desk. It all comes good in the pension I believe when my mate will get the equivalent of a Gp Capt.

That'll be nice.

He took a non conventional route, he left the RAF in 1967 as Flt Lt - was an instructor on Britannias. did some commercial work then spent 70-79 flying in Oman where he headed up transport command for SOAF. When he came back to UK in 79, the RAF invited him back so he re-joined at age 55 and flew Hercules out of Lyneham for 3 years..

Thought you said there was no crime on the island? I know a lawless society when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now!

Brings back great memories of taking the kids to a local farm during lambing. Thanks, John.

I'm surprised they're mixed and in an auction pen, at that age they'll still be looking for mum.
