Visiting Lyneham (can’t think why) late one evening and a well-known NZ Flt Lt was SDO, as he often was for weeks at a time, apparently. At 2259 and 59 secs the bar shutters are unceremoniously dropped without any request for last orders.
Me: “That’s a bit rude”.
SDO: “Don’t worry, we’ll go fishing when the bar-steward has buggered off, I did learn something at Binbrook”.
So we did for an hour or two.
I (much) later heard that NZ Flt Lt was Wg Cdr Ops. At Lyneham.
