As an aside, I think it was Tim Thorn who visited us at Goose Bay during a winter training exercise. We were briefed by a legend of a F/Sgt "not to ask any questions" following the CG's address in the briefing room (I think it was the cinema but my memory has failed). The 1* Commandant General of the RAF Regiment waxed lyrical and finished with "Any questions". The F/Sgt glowered at us all and from the very back came the shout "Who signs your leave passes?" The **** hit the fan, the F/Sgt ran up the aisle trying to locate and punch the guilty sod, we all got punished! Happy days!!
That CG was very well liked and respected amongst our ranks.
