WO Overall (Joe Denims as we called him at Lossie in the late 70's early 80's) and Murray Robertson, two SWOs from Lossie who will stick in my mind for a very long time!

I can remember a tale (probably folklore but hey) told few years ago of an airman on Jankers who was given the job of watering the flowers at Leuchars on the roundabout by the main gate (the one that had the Spitfire mounted on it). Later on in the day the flowers weren't watered and it was chucking it down. Enter SWO...

"Thought you were detailed to water the flowers lad?"

"I was Sir but it's raining outside" replies pathetic looking airman

"Well you've got a bloody raincoat lad, get on with it!!!".....came SWO's reply
