That SD hat had been on many a Cold War field exercise and had lived in many a dusty barn and muddy tent during that time. I came to attention, saluted and was given a short welcome chat. As I was dismissed, he told me that next time I came to see him, I was to wear my best hat. Unfortunately, it was my best hat and I said so. I was advised that next time, it was not to be my best hat. Point taken.
Was he Gp Capt Richard Head?
