Somewhere in Argentina...

[Robin Craig]

Clive,

Rumour has it the esteemed ring leaders of the Hammond Barn are at this minute plotting through a haze of seasonal mosquitos as to how to turn the recovery into an Official CF recovery operation. My inside source has it on good authority that an HLVW wrecker is being modified for air transport in a C130 by fitting K car wheels and tyres and removing the cab and that all flights will be signed off by the Wing Training Officer (Captain Loaddroper-Redlighton) as legitimate long distance training flights. Flights coming back from Afghanistan that would have been otherwise empty will now have a realistic load.

It is furthermore understood that the name to this circus has been "Exercise Kimco" and planning was started 01/04/11 (D/M/Y)

Whether my sources are kosher remains to be seen

Robin
