Looks like Deeps is in his happy mode now, so maybe, just maybe things will develop whilst we await sailing orders.

I can't get my fingers and brain used to typing cr*p again....!!! :lol:

[Hmmm good name for a cafe but staff reputed to be quite rebellious ] the Crew have been inoculated the [ and sobered up ] the Ship in all respects ready for sea , and will join the flagship via truncated means so get your kit down to the Galaxy departing from Mildenhall airfield this evening at 1800hrs :evil:

Delayed by footie for 1800 departure m'lud, then Doris decided that nowt can 'appen 'til 19th July, didn't elaborate as to which year though!!

Meantime, as it's to be a crab air flight, packing correct parachute as per 'combined ops' rules, rules!

My cafe staff are fully trained NOT to be rebellious m'lud, trust me, and will be victualed aboard also. Manuel is in charge of them. :roll:

Awaiting count down..... :?

God ...[.bring back the Cat !] ....ehm well ....whilst I am reliably informed that an Army marches on its stomach , just the catering crew can hardly warrant a non stop flight in an USMC Osprey to our flag ship , now can it :roll: , did you not see any of the other wasters ahem sorry " crew" shuffling around aimlessly as we have no... No1 , comms, Weapons chief or SS , not to mention a Sky pilot or Snr Mech :evil: I may be the first in my Class but one can only spread ones talents so far can't one ;)

Na den Guv, galaxy a/c will not fit ont' flat top, as my café staff are multi talented we wuz gonna drop off with these 'ere parachute that we've packed, so Osprey not needed. :D

My crew are more than capable of filling missing senior officers positions, don't want you pulling yer 'air out ont bridge AND engine room, yet alone the galley!! :lol:

Manuel has offered to become your personal assistant, his previous hotel experience is without fawlt. ;)

Yours Aye,

Much as one applauds initiative the " Galaxy" will be only going as far as Greece at which point we will be transferred to our Final berths by Osprey , and it was El Tell's express wishes to transit in this manor as he wants one of their free bees that the pilot hands out to the passengers on completion of a successful landing [ think its a lighter or a bandage but not sure which , anyway I digress , I was hoping that our Secret Squirrel could join us as well as our No1 mod but he seems a tad predisposed to watching his team at present :roll:

So there you have it lewtenant , I'm sure all will be well , I have been advised that some other transit crew may be joining us but don't have the details at present but one is your favourite Dental Surgeon Lt Phil .M. E. Cavity .so beware as the on board kit has not been used as of now but that could all change ... ;)

Ah Ell Tel is present at last I see better get him out to his new shack before he is reported as AWAL .

He will be thrilled with his new updated comms shack along with his updated kit , [ unless our friends from over the pond have beaten him to it and shipped it to Denis for installation on that new Ford flat deck with the single tower bolted on deck .. :roll: ]
Rumour has it that our Vodka friends are a bit peed off about our Defender in their neck of the woods and started spitting the dummies out and redrawing our routes and insinuating we are not about our lawful business :o ........it will all end in tears :cry:

No need to worry there El Tel , as the on board tailer will see to all that once he has your inside leg measurements , report to A.S "Die Needle" and he will address the situation along with our young Jack and his opo 's so as soon as you land he will have your measure
