MDB; a righty.

MDB = "Daniel", which means we have two.

Exactly the same. Chocks away! Scramble, scramble, scramble!
My secret mentor has rightly pointed out that I have taken off before leaving the hanger

Not something that is normal for a man of my age

I'm circling, but I have to wait to adopt a payload..!

Is anybody going to tell the new boy that one of our regulars but not attending this tasting is ex-Luftwaffe? No, let’s keep it quiet, this is all too funny.

I'll say; the allusion only came to mind because I was drinking with the son of a member of 617 tonight..

Dress code for the tasting is: hand goggles, flight jacket, white scarf, baggy trousers, wooden leg and a dog with a non-PC name.

Ahem.. What time do you all assemble?

Posted: **09:09 Tue 02 Apr 2013**

6 to 6:30ish, but for an informal tasting there is more flexibility.

G85, W85, W83, F83 and D83 all decanted and ready, looking and smelling fine. Will be there around 6pm.

Unfortunately I have not been able to get the pink ticket to attend, sorry about that, will pay my share as late cancellation.

Sorry about that and hope you have a great night!

No.

Yes that's quite enough of that. I think recent documentary evidence uncovered in the archives of the Imperial War Museum has shown that the dog was in fact called Spot...

Ha. Now I'll have that theme tune running through my head all day. Don't be surprised if I start humming it later...

T85 decanted 15.35 - came surprisingly clean considering it wasn't stood up at all..

..will be on parade c. 6p.m.

I'm going to come via the Strand since I see nobody here has mentioned this place, and it seems to be newish and to be opened by a concern in Dublin.. Could be interesting perhaps..
