In the 70s I had to leave the old Ark Royal on compassionate , & the only way they could get me off was to fly me off in a Gannet , fxxxxxxxxxxg awesome , never forget it , flew me to Norfolk Virginia , US Navy staff car to the nearest civilian airport , then up to New York Kennedy air port , straight onto a BA 747 to Heathrow , hire car waiting for me , never even needed a ticket , RN at its best , compassionate turned out ok in the end as well , :lol:

It's for winners!

However, they've shitcanned all that now and it's a case of people flying crab air to join their units.

EG-A group joining a ship in Dubai will go from Brize to Qatar and either go civvy air from there to Dubai (1 Hour flight) or if there are quite a few people travelling in a group the aircraft will go direct to Dubai.

Whilst it is cheaper, it means that what was a 7 1/2 hour beforehand now turns into a 2 day evolution.

Had lots of good times --however I think the best one was getting off the Hermes .

Had a draft chit to next billet and it said to join having had all leave due.
Hermes was always at sea-and I had a months leave owing .
I was helo transferred to a Destroyer and arrived Malta next morning same day flight from Malta. The Maltese cop on departures queried the how did I get to Malta but stamped my passport exit .
Arrived home the next day.

First Christmas at home in three years.
