    I can't see anyone with a durry and a brew cup, so I'm going to assume there is no Qie in that picture.

    I worked with a retired RAAF Qie. Going to his house was like walking into the QStore. The bastard had at least one of every tool ever known to the RAAF. Full snapon kit, no worries.

    Never have enough kit, never order more in and what useless junk they do have doesn't work anyway. Us poor regulars have to suffer, but God I hope SOTG and SOCAUST have a different system....

    Too right, hence the reason those blokes arent part of the great beret ban!

    If I suspect you are anything like your username, keep that black bezzer rocking! Funny, but the Beret will block as much sun as your vehicle crew helmets, which you'll be wearing in the sun unless youve closed down... Any word on a wide brimmed Vehicle Crew Helmet??

    Heard an awesome story from 1 Avn the other day, not sure if it's true though. Pilots were obviously pretty upset with the ban, and pilots wear their slouch hats to the aircraft and then stow them on the 'dashboard' during flight. During this one particular flight (the day after the ban came in) the hat 'accidentally' slid across the dash and partially blocked the pilots HUD. He called out 'Obstruction!' and followed procedure to clear his sightline which involved jettisoning the hat straight away, but since the hat wouldn't fit through the small window vent he jettisoned the whole window into the ocean outside Darwin harbour, with his hat following close behind.

    A inquiry and a few thousand dollars worth airframe later the pilot was cleared of any wrongdoing because he did follow correct procedure. What a legend.

    Wow, that one got out of control fast! I like where it's at though.
    There was an email going around regarding a safety incident (1 Avn) - it was well funny, and pretty much that story minus the jettison action. Funny none the less.

    The slouchy doesn't look healthy after you pull it from your pocket. I'm surprised a Coup hasn't happened yet... then again I've heard some plans...
