AAC visit 8th December 2010

[MOD]

Ian. You redeemed yourself by saying "used to be" there

That's like me admitting to being a Man City & Scunthorpe supporter.................oh...................hang on

Edit: Your name and Hull made me think. I used to work with a guy called Eddie Waudby from Hull about 20 years ago, any relation?

I don't know Kev. It depends , did he owe you money? Could he spell his own name? Was he married to his sister? It used to be a very close knit community!! I escaped 1977... and headed for the bright lights of Worcestershire..

BTW Waudby is a Viking name and I was born 3 miles from the ancient Viking settlement of Great Waudby. It is now no more than 2 farms and a public common. When I was still living in Hessle ( 33 years ago) there were only 6 Waudbys in the East Riding phone book. However since then they seem to have bred in a way that makes rabbits look impotent

Yes to all questions

That made me giggle

PS love the name Middle Wallop!!! appeals to my sense of humour

And if there's anything worse than a Middle Wallop it's a Nether Wallop

Me - I prefer ' A pint o' your 'Best Wallop' barman'

Olicat - these tours were the brainchild of WO2 Stuart Girdler ( soon to get his Pips! - fingers crossed). And yes the visit is on a Wednesday. Stuart does these in his own time and then makes up the time later !!

He is a Scot with a fund of great stories and unusually for his race , he is T-total !! Hence I usually take him some cans of something called IRN-BRU !! .

As Gully intimated he also has a weird passion for ice-hockey - what the puck that is all about is beyond me. It sounds a bit too cold and violent to be an enjoyable sport for my tastes. Strange really when you think I used to be a Hull City supporter.

Stuart got promoted to Captain earlier this week.

On a recent visit he also said he had enough Irn-Bru to last for some time and so we gave him Coca-Cola instead.

As others have said, he's a great guy.

[Olicat]

said the same to us about irn bru when i went
(august 18th)
he's a kind person and he spends his own time taking you round he can go in hangars that you cant and give you tail numbers of the things inside

Could those coming on this visit please send me their full names and dates of birth.

As I don't always receive PMs successfully could you post these details on this thread. If you want these details kept private you could try to send me a pm and post on here that you have done so.

Joining details will follow shortly.

I had the pleasure of going along on this visit to raise funds for the A.A.C. Historic Flight, I have been requested to post the group photo that was taken by our host.

Bravo

What a big chopper

[Mayfly]

and I can assure Jiggy it's very effective too!!!

Nice to see you had a great time. Stuart does a great tour.

I guess he's remaining at MW following his promotion to Captain?

[Xplumberlives]

No he's posted to Wattisham and has no replacement so the visits will cease!

[Olicat]

are you serious?

[Xplumberlives]

are you serious?

Oh yes!

[Olicat]

prove it!

[Xplumberlives]

prove it!

Email Stuart and ask him yourself!

[Olicat]

why don't you?

[Xplumberlives]

why don't you?

Very simply because I know the answer which I have already posted!

[Olicat]

prove it another way!

[Xplumberlives]

prove it another way!

I don't need to!

You do have Stuarts Email address don't you?

[Olicat]

my dad probably does, but is there really going to be no more trips?

[Xplumberlives]

No he's posted to Wattisham and has no replacement so the visits will cease!

SEE this earlier post!

[Olicat]

[Xplumberlives]

We are however hopeful that once he is established at Wattisham, visits to that base may be possible!
