Ah yes, Ian T. He was an instructor at Lindholme. Interesting tale about first night dates but I won't spill the beans so to say.
He next tour was at a NATO HQ in Denmark. That of course in the days when the RAF would be wearing blues when crisped and no tin hats. Come exercises the Germans would run around with coal scuttles. One said "Why do you British not wear helmets?"
Tapping his head, Ian said "We British have thicker skulls, that is why we won the war."
