Oh for the love of..........!
The kid was good,like you said OvS,he was being mentored,what the hell else WOULD he say??
When i was 17 i got a job at Caernarvon Airfield in N.Wales,a small place with a flying school and pleasure flights around Mt Snowdon,also regularly visited by RAF Hawks from RAF Valley,Hercs and whoever else happened to be on low level excercises at the time.They either beat up the airfield or practised touch n' go.
I was always up in the tower blagging a go on the comms with the controller,he always told me what to say,i would never have dreamed of saying anything stoopid.The fact that i was there in the first place lends creedence to my passion!
No one ever bollocked me for it,and that included RAF Valley as well as the CAA.
Thats harsh man.
