The Squadron was more than a bit surprised to find an 8 Sqn crew on the 7 Sqn Chinook - but I can't remember what colour suit he wore in the mess that night.
There was only one M.G.
MFCG was on Victors before he went to 8 Sqn. It was definitely yellow and green suits at Lossie and I thought that it was the station commander and not the PMC with whom he had the discussions. After Chinooks he fulfilled an Ops job on a squadron that I was on at a certain Wiltshire base until he retired. And along the way he married a Wing Commander! A phenomenal character and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I must get in touch again ….
