Drove west down Pandora after work yesterday. Traffic was slow so I had an opportunity to rubberneck more than usual. FFS, the place gets worse by the week. I thought the FTP sign taped to the front of 941 was a nice touch (a building whose maintenance falls under my umbrella.) I saw VPD...

It is, although I haven't done the plugs yet :p. A few months back, I had an issue with downshifting and power on climbs. Cleaned the MAF sensor for the first time and the problem went away. Cheap fix for the win! We should have an F150 owners thread......

I dabbled in trucks for years, usually bangers that I could usually flip for what I paid, whilst the newer vehicle we had was a Civic or CRV. Since 2004 though, I’ve been a solid F150 guy for all the reasons you’ve listed above. My current 2010 with the 5.4l with no ecoboost isn’t that bad on...

McNab (ok...Mitchell) mentions that in one of his books. CO 2 RGJ killed. Well regarded according to Andy. Highest ranking member killed on active service, or would that have been Warrenpoint?

The best (worst?) observation: "But a country which used to be regarded as dull but decent now looks indecent and lead by dullards."

Doesn’t spotting of any kind come under the generic term of “anorak wearer”? The Brits have such endearing terms for things.

If PP can convince the 905 and 250/604 of the need and avoid bozo interruptions, one term may become two or more. By god, we need it.

This ^^^^

Your 2nd paragraph. ALG was like that during Apollo. After 7 months and two cruise engine changes away we came back in better material state than when we left, a result of personnel resources being thrown at us and FLOG being excellent. Eight years later (2010) as CERA the difference was...

Weird. During my 280 time, if the generators worked, the boilers didn't.

Don’t forget 2 Sqd RAF Regiment. Oh, I get your point.

Wow. I was at FMF in ‘99/01. Replacement was being discussed then, but expansion of Cape Breton came first. Still, 20+ yrs!!

Mmmm…..Harvey’s. Closest one to Van Isle is Calgary 🤬

PR master class!

IIRC, an RAF pilot hasn’t had a combat air-to-air kill since 1945 unless seated in an RN Sea Fury or Sea Harrier. So yeah, maybe a bit over confident.

A bottle of Bailey’s in Sub Base Pearl once got me 4 start pack hoses made from scratch with fittings and pressure tested in less than an hour.

FFS. I’d ask if you’re joking but we know you’re not.

Seeing I was one, I can comment on this. I’d say ‘training for the street’ occurred with a minority of a METTP cohort leaving at the 5 or 6 year point. In my case, that was 1990-91 when my cohort (8501) lost around 10 out of 40 pers ( down from 50 at the start of Cornwallis) to Ontario Hydro...

Did you give said Sgt your best crap hat glare?
