"Porky" Munro
Porky was in RAFO (then SOAF) from about 1976 and started as Sqn Ldr (Ops) Flighters. He progressed to command Thumrait and then moved to take command of Masirah when SOAF's second Jag Sqn formed there. I was lucky enough to serve with him at both those bases. He was then promoted again and moved to HQ where he was Director of Operations. He suffered a severe stroke and retired back to UK where he had another 10 years of life during which he made a remarkable recovery thanks to the great support of his wife Gerry. I went to his funeral which was attended by many faces from the past and there was a Harrier fly-past, a fitting tribute to a man who had been on the Tripartite Trial Squadron flying 1127s or the very first military Harriers. A fine aviator, a firm and fair leader and a generous and frequent host for massive meals and loads of drinks in his various Oman residences.
