From the man himself. OASC Medical. He knows he has a dodgy eye and doesn't expect to get through for aircrew but examining MO inexplicably tests good eye twice and passes him! He kept quiet about it until operational. Can't remember how he managed to keep his medical cat (early/mid 70s, glasses a no no) but made quite a thing of the gammy eye and wore the monocle with some panache. Hadn't heard the other story about him above, but the monocle's a dead giveaway.
