RAF Leeming, waaaay back in the Jet Provost days there was a SWO (?) who was blind in one eye and was known as "Clarence" after the movie "Clarence the One Eyed Lion."

I have a life-long friend whom I met at RAF Saint Athan when we were both Boy Entrants (45th). I still call "Bernie", he acquired this nick-name from "Bernie, the bolt please" which was a catch-phrase used in a TV programme called "The Golden Shot."
