Jonah here, great news - my application to join has been accepted so I am now officially EAF_T_Jonah!! - How do I change my forum name to comply?!
Anyway, the 19 Sqn boys have heard about my sorry life story to date, but I thought I had better introduce myself to everyone else!
I’m 33 and live near Winchester. I am a keen Il2 fan and have been playing from the start - however -you can’t beat online flying with good friends!
I used to be an Officer in the Royal Navy and spent 3 of my 6 years driving around in an SSN - three dimensional warfare, just underwater!
Before that I was fortunate enough to get an RAF Flying Scholarship and I also flew with Northumbrian Universiaties Air Squadron (NUAS) for 2 1/2 years. I have about 90 hours under my belt but no PPL due to no money. The last time I flew was in a Stampe - bloody brilliant.
I now work as a copper in Winchester and met Sqn Ldr Swoop recently (not work related) at a social gathering. Discovering our mutual interest in aviation, he has talked me through the early stages on here and I have been joining in when my shift work allows.
Looking forward to meeting up with more of you guys in due course.
We all know you submarine types. Share warm bunks and all then you turn into coppers, all we need now is a judge and we got the lot. Cops, prison officers, wait! a judge hmm lemme think… Ming hello there your honour, you’re all on the bloody gravy train
A warm welcome Jonah, have fun, enjoy the banter.
