By road to Rammstein? Obviously RAF doesn't ascribe any value to your time
.... oh just minute, they pay SFA anyway, so that's QED.
Back in the day I daresay you would have been stuffed in a droptank and
ferried over by Phantom? Or in the bomb bay of a Mosquito??
Retiring again, eh? You must enjoy it. But I don't understand whether 'it'

Believe me, Piers, Government departments are very tight with their dosh at

I’ll be retiring soon – again, for the 3rd time.
