I also have fond memories of him from Episkopi in late 74 and early 75 when I was finishing my tour unaccompanied in common with many others. I was a sergeant at the time and we had a dining-in with him as guest of honour. He made a speech in which, among other subjects, he treated us to stories of things he'd read in officers' ACRs when he was a desk officer. Some the usual, probably apocryphal, like: "The only reason anyone would follow this officer is out of curiosity" But one which I enjoyed and have often repeated was: "There's only one person who drinks more beer in the mess than this officer and that's his wife!" But the point is, a dinner in the WO & Sgts mess with the Stn Cdr. there could have been quite stilted, but we had a great night and he made us feel part of his team. A fine officer.
