Off thread - but to close Langley's comment......
I worked under Woodward in 82 on Hermes.
I worked under the "Sandy" that I think he refers to in RAFG 92 until he left in 93 and RAFG became 2 Gp.
Different characters in every way.
During my arrival interview at RAFG as a new Stn Cdr, the 1* of the day (great bloke who will not take much identifying) and who was directly in my link to the 2* (not great) and 3* (worse - Sandy) told me that if I treated his (Sandy's) visit to my Station as if it was a Royal Visit, then I would get it about right.
Great advice - and he was spot-on.
I like Marmite - but, Langley, your apparent admiration for the man is not held commonly.
Never mind the curtains - what about all the china from the Berlin house??
