Lost again is it Sir? Wittering's still about 10 miles that-a-way...
The MO's insistence on administering pre-flight eye tests was seen as a somewhat short-sighted policy whenever a "scramble" was ordered.
"See that UAV there, sir? That's your job gone, that is!"
"So if that's your aeroplane up there sir, and you're standing here, like, who's bloody taken it? You didn't leave the keys in it again, did you sir??" Not in an area like this, anyway!"
"and we're going to have a trellis on the south side of the hangar there, sir, so we can grow a clematis, which the lads think will set off the camouflage a treat".

You really don't need the map Sir, the station barber is the last door in that building over there, by the hangar. And while they are giving you a trim, might I suggest getting rid of that moustache?
"Despite what they say, sir, the battle's over there, not on the edge of your map."
So they'll come from that way, and they'll have red stars on them. Wow, this is so much more complicated than OCU. Thanks Sarn't!
Harrier? Now, funnily enough, there's a male hen harrier right over there. If you look carefully, you can just see the white patch on its rump.

A rarity: a flying officer on his operational Squadron. In today's Air Force he would be a minimum of PAS flight lieutenant before arriving at the same stage.
