"Special *bleepin* Needs" more like, on the evidence of this thread. *falls off chair laughing*

You'll find out in time that there is scarcely a subject matter on earth that Crumpp is not a World Authority upon (in his head). One would have thought that a Special Forces Soldier of the caliber of Crumpp would be cognizant of the fact that no plan survives contact (especially 18 month old provisional ones) and its well known that a modicum of common sense and ability to improvise and adapt to rapidly changing circumstances (IE BoB) are usually prerequisites for selection. Crumpp does not understand that red tape and SOP's are often overlooked or neglected in times where it is efficacious, necessary, and prudent to do so.

Crumpp is also a renowned expert on explosives, Air Combat Manoeuvres, Modern history, Physics, Engineering, Aerodynamics and Mathematics. Wunderkind. Nietzsches 'Overman'. He even finds the time in his hectic schedule to obsessively stalk computer game forums of games he apparently doesn't even play, to put all of us simpletons to rights with the irrepressible power of his ferocious intellect. Fear him!

Great post Lane. I think that's what we in the trade call a "definitive, catastrophic smackdown". Not that this thread has not been full of them. Not that this will stop Crumpp. Think "T-1000". He cannot be stopped!

Still waiting for all the reams of 87 octane combat reports circa the battle of Britain, a list of the 16 squadrons, and details of their supply. Still waiting for a certain party to understand the basic requirement of qualifying a statement with actual evidence. Should be an absolute cinch, given the alleged predominance of 87 octane! Where are they? Why can't they be found? Hmmmm, its a tough one.

Carry on, out.
