See PM.. The Polly Grey thing is hilarious. Among other things he was actually promoted to Lieutenant but busted to Sgt after seriously insulting HRH Prince Bernhard, and there's lots of other stories in the 322 and 323 Squadron anniversary books, 323 being the "rival" squadron. Hou doe, Derk

quote name='Spinners' date='28 March 2010 - 12:09 PM' timestamp='1269803373' post='399011'] Polly got claws Sgt Polly Grey the Fifth of no 322Sq RNlAF has been trained for interceptions, NOT for A/G !!!!!! In the pic you can see that he has just succesfully made a practice intercept on an F16 and has forced it to land. Viper doesn't stand a chance...... And that's the way it has been since Polly the First, back in 1943 !!!!! Not a pound for air to ground ........ Hou doe, Derk

Two lightweeks ? Hou doe, Derk

Still like this one best (watch out: LOUD) Hou doe, Derk

Polly Grey's motto: "not a pound for air to ground......." Hou doe, Derk

As it turned out, the plane had generator trouble and was on it's way from Billund (DK) via Nordholz to Niederrhein (ex RAF Laarbruch). The pilot, a 67 year old Briton, was told by Airtraffic Controll (Dutchmil)NOT to land at Twenthe (the field being closed since 2008) but a nice and fully intact 9000ft runway is not available everywhere. The pilot had a license allright but no type rating for the T-Bird. He had to spend the night at the police station (!) and was set free only this afternoon (!!!!!!) Guess he must have been a VERY dangerous and utterly criminal type........ I think, given the circumstances, he simply did a very good job !!!! Hou doe, Derk

A Danish T33 had to make an emergency landing at the closed Twenthe Airbase yesterday because of bad weather and technical problems. So far so good....... The 67 year old pilot (a real veteran I guess) was fined a E 2.000,= penalty for flying without a valid license............ s**t HAPPENS...... (NEVER, NEVER make an emergency landing in the Netherlands without a valid license ......) Hou doe, Derk

Avanti Veltro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hou doe, Derk
