A story slightly relating to our friendly blanket-stackers….

In the late 1980s, the decision was made by their Airships that Supply Sqns would no longer be the responsibility of Admin Wg, but would transfer to Eng Wg across the whole air force. At Leuchars, we had an ex-airman MTO with a wicked sense of humour. On the day of the transfer he sent a memo to OC Admin informing him that as the number of officers under his command had fallen to a critical number, he was no longer entitled to his service Metro and was kindly to return it to MT immediately.

OC Admin fell for it completely and much wailing went on in Handbrake House until the jape was revealed!
