SPL maybe confined to the office these days but this pioneering logistician still has a global reach. Where will his SPL mugs be seen around the globe.
To celebrate the launch of Out of the Desert I'm running a giveaway. To win one of 3 paperback copies all you need to do is follow me, retweet this & tag a friend. Competition closes 1200BST, 23 July. Winners chosen by @RetweetPicker#bookboost#amwriting https://t.co/ebZ53XWBmR
SPLs finest are pictured here with a German Luftwaffe counterpart in happier times. Relations turned sour this week after they sung โTen German bombersโ while celebrating Englands football result. SPLs German expansion, known as the โSteve Panzer-Lehr divisionโ is now on hold.
@Maddie_H_Smith@SharpeBooks I drank gin and wine mainly. I then began counting how many bottles i had drunk, setting a benchmark. During lockdown two I decided to try and to beat that record. Eventually doing so after weeks of constant effort. Should probably write SPLs memoirs next time instead.
Today the SPL weather watching team captured the Malian weather front (pictured below) that caused a 24hr delay. The inbound crew are now hoping visibility and local weather conditions improve by tomorrow. ๐ค #touchandgo
SPLs charitable trust has opened a food shelter for A400 & C17 Sups. Pictured below is a Sup who is often found delayed in an airport. The trust hopes to provide nourishment to these individuals as they contend with 24 delays and cancelled tasking, often without receiving rates.
@Stevie_Joy I will maintain the SPL brand and not slander the ac type on twitz. Nor will I slander the African nation that decided Biggles couldnโt carry out his intended flight plan.#thesplway
This SPL mug owner has kindly been given spare airframes by German colleagues today. Witnessing at first hand how often aircraft fail to show, they were keen to give us something to boost the fleet. This level of banter from coalition partners was unexpected but most welcome. ๐
Another tough puzzle for the owner of this mug. Maintaining mental agility during tea breaks is actively encouraged. SPL was of course the inspiration. New to the Rubix Cube he completed it in just 8 moves and 3.46 seconds before retiring from the sport, giving others a chance.
@tommyround1@NAFECPAO Who could forget the wonderful way in which we synergised our efforts across state lines (always maintaining 49CFR regulations of course).
