P.S.
Another memory of "Scriv"....whilst at Tain we used to have to look after the Bosse's dog whilst out on the range....."Nimbus" a very big black Lab had a great knack of buggering off and going looking for rabbits......always out of sight....one day "Scriv" got fed up with this and decided to paint his tail Day-Glow Orange for easier location!!!!!
I will never forget how that evening we all pilled out of the Land-Rover enroute to the mess and dissapeared to all quarters before the boss saw what had happened.
Long live the memories "Scriv"
