We seem to have strayed into a thread drift. Coltishall, late 1960s. Sports afternoons for Station teams only. Our section chiefy had been one of the RAF Rugby team until he got a detached retina, and switched to being a referee (those in the know were very aware of his blind side
).. The rest of the section all decided to keep on his good side and be keen on rugby, and comprised a good third of the station team, leaving me plus one SAC to run the section from early lunch on Wednesday until enough aircraft serviceable for Thursday morning.
This earned me enough brownie points to take most of the summers off for gliding, ending up on the RAF team and a Station Commander's commendation. There must be a moral there somewhere.
