Hi Tony from Wiltshire, another one from North Wiltshire here. Where in the Shire is everyone from!? Sorry. When I wrote the Shire I know I should have written THE SHIRE :D
So it's your fault Armandii ! I was inspecting the engine blades after squeezing between the bullet and the outer skin of the air intake, being a bit warm in Singapore I failed to wear a shirt ! Those shards of fibreglass on my chest kept me itching for days ! Cheers, Tony.
Yes, Tony, that was my piece of kit, the Ferranti radar plus a few other bits of stuff! When I first joined the Squadron I was just under 18 and a lot slimmer than I am now That made me the "baby" of the Squadron so I was given all sorts of jobs including the inspection of the engine blades as I could fit nicely through. Getting back was a problem though at times, I always had the insane fear that someone would start up the engines while I was there.:D
