My favourite was the padre at the apprentice college Arborfield in the early 70's, Basil Pratt .
On his travels with apprentices passing him by on both sides saluting he used to return the salute with both hands simultaneously.
If I remember correctly he was a an olympic canooist and also the padre on the Zaire river expedition.
Famous for telling the assembled throng at a passing out parade service that he knew what his nickname was with the apprentices.
"Bas the Spaz"
Try getting away with that now.
