Safety flight announcement during my trip in South Africa

[the-dubster]

I recall a return flight from our delightful outpost - the Falkland islands after spending a most entertaining 4 months on that God forsaken rock :roll: , where the Captains announcements were rather amusing.

On the threshold he started with 'It's eight and a half thousand miles to the UK, we've got a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarrettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses...........hit it' :lol:
And at this moment the brakes came off and off we went.

On final approach he piped up again with the usual 'We are now approaching Brize Norton, the local time is whatever it was, the usual about temp and weather, the usual 'adjusting back to normal life' waffle and then the immortal (and carreer ending) '...and all the WAAFs (womens RAF) can go back to being ugly again.' :shock:

Funny as hell at the time - to the guys anyway, as anyone who has spent protracted periods of time away from home knows, the rough ones start to look good sooner or later................................
