‘Jimmy’ Cameron at flying stations.

HMAS
Bunbury (LCDR Andy Schroder) recently conducted flight trials
of a very different nature.
The ship’s company were challenged to produce an aircraft, capable
of launch from the FX of a Fremantle Class Patrol Boat. Thirty-six
hours later, Bunbury altered onto flying course and first of
class flight trials were conducted from the FX.
Some curious designs resulted that included a ‘slingshot’ launch,
traditional rubber band driven propellers and a ‘control air’
pressured water device contrived by the Able Seamen.
While the Senior Sailors ‘contraption’ actually achieved powered
flight, it was the Leading Hands that took the day with their
ramp and slingshot powered craft that flew over fifty metres
from the
ship.
The flying machines were then recovered by Bunbury’s rescue
Rhib astern.
Drive-Thru
Fun
1.
Drive through the drive-thru in reverse and let your passenger
order.
2. Honk your horn the whole way through the line.
3. Tell the employee that your window is broken. Order and then
pay with your door open. When the food comes, roll down the
window and snatch your order from their hands.
4. Order in another language.
5. Laugh sadistically when they ask if you would like fries.
6. When asked if they can take your order, tell them you are
‘just looking’ and drive on.
7. Just stare at them when you pay and get your food. Don’t
break your stare.
8. Pay for a large order in ten and five cent pieces.
9. Order a cup of water and two serviettes. That’s it.
10. Ask the cashier how they fit into the little box.
11. When they hand you your food, hand them a bag with all the
rubbish from your car in it.
12. If they make you wait, make them wait when they come back
on.
13. Pretend your car has broken down. Ask for assistance moving
it. When they come out, drive away.
14. Ask the price of almost everything on the menu and then
order something you didn’t ask the price of.
