Heres Richie & Josie,

Josie is back to work on Monday so all the best for that!

As always it was great to see Richie- A true Northener who doesn`t suffer fools and is straight talking. I miss our long chats on life when I was at Cosford!!

hopefully see you for pre xmas drinks in shifnal!!


Here is Nev and Andrea,

Nev was on form, getting all females in his vicinity to stroke his head and ears. must be a mid-life crisis thing!!

Andrea works at a nursery in Shifnal and is very used to childish behaviour!

The Happy Couple!


Hers Hugh & Sue Beech...

Imagine if she was called "Sandy"!!

Yep, Hugh didn`t want to waste money on civilian clothes again, so put on his uniform!!

Hugh was later seen getting onto his honeymoon flight with his RAF holdalls and issue sunglasses..

All the best to your future together!!

At Hugh`s Do!


Andy Fraser & Nicola-Have only just got married themselves a couple of weeks ago! Andy is famous for comments like
"teamwork makes the dream work!" and others... Andy is currently on tour at Cosford entertaining the young people there. To see him perform - go to your nearest AFCO and say you want to be a fairy.

Andy is very clever,learning in hours what took us months!! very Charismatic with a lovely wife and a great home-made haircut!! He seems to do well in everything he does and I am sure he s***s gold nuggets.

If anyone knows about any failings of Andy`s then let me know...I will feel so much better : )

Back to Stafford

A funny for the weekend!

Hovver Dogs......hehe!!


Jones found ADA a little bit challenging....

Medical story-true story!!


I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control centre. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants!!!!!

some people.......

Deaksie



Steevee Deaks,

Steve was in IIAC Jags from 1973! and 41F and was the person who taught me how to survive in the RAF...i.e how to hide in tool stores so you don`t have do BF two jets etc..
