280 SU RAF Troodos, a unit manned by RAF and Army personnel from 259 Signals Regiment. The GOC Cyprus was on his annual inspection of his part of the unit and called in to the Junior Ranks Mess at lunchtime. Usual dril, carry on eating unless spoken to, answer quaestions honestly and finish your meal. GOC approaches a diner and asks the signalman if he as any complaints. Signalman downs tools, pauses for a moment and answers “Yes, Sir” Cue awkward glances and shuffling from OC catering and entourage. Signalman continues “My greatcoat doesn’t fit me”, picks up tools and carries on eating.
