BEagle, I know what you mean about the OCU, it was my intro to the RAF.
Bruce gave us groundcrew a hard time as well. On the long lead during a Fam1 you would often hear, "unplug, as what I am about to say is unsuitable for delicate ears" or words to that effect.
He did give me my first fast jet trip though, in one of our Hunters, now at Kemble I believe, the Hunter, not Bruce.
