Hitching from RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire to Aylesbury , Ducks.
Usual technique, out the gates, cross the road to the lay-by on the southbound and wait. This one time a black Daimler came out the camp gates from which I'd just emerged and stopped. "Whar yew going airman?", demanded a face just south of a cap resplendent in scrambled egg. "Aylesbury sir" says me. "Right" says sir. "Climb in the front with my driver."
The AOC bomber command was on his way back to HQ in High Wycombe and i slid off his magic carpet at the end of our street.
At that time, in uniform, you would hardly ever be passed. Cold War and patriotism what what!

Well what do you fucking expect from a question which is basically 'write about the time when you went from a place to another place'?

That's a subjective view so do tell me what it is about your life
that pales mine into insignificance.

He actually thinks he's got some dignity.
Despite the fact that he slurps jizz from an upturned Frisbee in exchange for a swig of meths.

Back then most of the higher ranks actually looked out for their men's interests too.
These days they couldn't give a fuck.
Only a couple of years back the RAF CBFSAI closed down our and Air Traffic's telly lounge. SATCO actually tried to talk him round, our Boss, the PMETO had his head so far up Mouldsey's arse that he flat out refused to argue our case.

You wish.
There was a gay Air Trafficer there at the time. He was also a semi-professional Alan Carr lookalike.
I am also of the firm belief that the ENTIRE Fire Section were homosexualists.
You should have joined the RAF Quinchy. You'd probably have found yourself a man.

I did not know that men were so lost.

I'm never lost.
Wherever I end up is EXACTLY where I meant to go. Even if it's not even on the same continent.
