Pontius,
An officer was allowed to select his own room from those suitable for his rank.
Maybe so, but a similar system was introduced at Wyton in the late 80s to allow the BLIs a chance of getting some the suites. The senior "liver in" was a beany army officer and he led by example and gave his up, no problem.
