Where's the Defender wave gone?

I wish I was smart enough to be an Aircraft Engineer [biggrin]

I often cross paths with travelrover as we live in the same area - you do find the Defenders in the Hawkesbury are a friendly bunch

My Col110 was an Aircraft Engineer, ex RAAF & lived in the western area of NSW. His moniker was ColS 110 though. Thought it could have been him, the world being such a small place. [bighmmm]
Last heard of in the Emirates working for a ME Airline but that was some years ago.

Scratch that. I forgot about a bloke in a Perentie who I often see on the dirt roads/off road tracks around here. Not got a wave from him yet!

Maybe he thinks these new fangled Pumas aren't proper Defenders [emoji38]

Well, mine looks like a Defender, it sounds like a Defender and it leaks like a Defender, so I believe that mine definitely IS a Defender [emoji38]

Two waves this morning in the Hawkesbury. Saw a new defender heading towards me and I almost waved. He looked like he was about to also. But yeah, nah not today ;-)

ummm it doesnt take much smarts to be an aircraft engineer.

Many of the a/c engineers in the defence forces are not even qualified tradesman , some were apprentices , most appys accelerate quite quickly through the rank selection process , but most are adult trade trainees who go to the RAAF School of Technical Training and do 12-18mths of "like this do that...until you get it right" type of training.

Very much sounds like the hesitation you both experienced before putting one's arm around one's first Girl friend & having one's first snog. Will she? Wont's she? & afterwards "Geez I'm glad I did.":wub::Rolling:
