The introduction of the Brit to RAF service was quite 'High Power'. Our first sight of one was in K'sar and we went to have a look at this shiny new visitor. One of the 'Loadmasters' (AQMs in those days?) was a mis-employed NCO pilot and somewhat disgruntled. He addressed his other 'loadie' by rank and said that this was mandated procedure on the Squadron (99?). Seemed very odd but on a later conversion course Dag ?, who was ex-Brits, spoke of similar 'peculiarities' of operating procedures. Just mischievious gossip or for real?
