Akrotiri bad Boy. Give credit where it's due. The chap would have been sent there for medical rehabilitation in that most excellent unit (as many of us were), and making model aircraft would have been part of his rehab exercises, rather than perhaps making chairs/buffets/rugs. He would not have been posted there just to make theM!
I seem to remember that Chessington was where prosthetics were made (when the RAF still had such skills), but I may be wrong. I have also heard that riggers were employed in the setting up of such items once upon a time.
