Bren was a QHI on the HKAAF at one stage.
Ternhill story circa 1964: Saturday night in the bar lots of studs, many staff and ladies. QHI with low centre of gravity is telling a joke about the French and is standing with his back to another group in which the French wife of a Wing Co on JCSS was present. She clearly found the punch line too much to take and took off a stiletto heeled shoe and belted said QHI with it (v painful) QHI turns to stop the assault and grabs the lady's arms. Wg Co sees his wife wrestling and punches QHI - all this happening faster than I can write it.
Result: Wg Co sent to 'graveyard slot' at Cosford and QHI gets 2 1/2 years in Hong Kong !!! famous low CofG comes in handy in mess rugby (which is fairly close to QHIs real name but there were lots with same monica in rotary world, just as there were Prices)
