For various reasons I had a "chit" in 1975 to grow my hair and moustache long preparatory for an upcoming detachment from Coningsby to Aldergrove.
As a going away present, naturally I was made O.O. on my last night before departure.
Looking like a part-time bus conductor I turned up to inspect the defaulters' parade. On questioning the first lad as to why he was in attendance I got the predictable answer......
" Having long hair, Sir"
Of course.
