Good to see mention of ACM Sir Michael Knight - an exceptionally fine VSO. I remember him seeing him stride into a reception at Barksdale AFB in 1980 in flying kit, having piloted a Vulcan over the Pond with O/C Scampton, and remarking "Dry old do, this". He saw to it that it didn't remain that way much longer. Spotted him looking sprightly at breakfast in the RAF Club three or four years ago.
