There was mention of Clive Rustin earlier at #46.
Clive was Wg Cdr OC Flying at Farnborough when I arrived there (as a civilian ATCO) in 1974. I met him again at RAF Bruggen in 1986 when I was visiting in my capacity of Flt Lt RAFVRT(T); surprisingly Clive was still a Wg Cdr whereas you would have expected him to be somewhat higher in the ranks. There were rumours about this being because of the Jaguar incident but I was told by a subsequent OC Flying that he had put up another 'black' in addtion to the Jaguar occurence; I think I know what this was but as I'm not sure I won't quote it here.
