An Aircrew watch and a pair of Aircrew cold weather trousers. Now what would a rockape need those for?
I was on 613 TACP for a bit (5 Airborne Brigade, before it changed to 16 Air Assault blah) and did time on 1(F) and 33 Sqns inbetween doing tours with
real sqns. Thats how I got the watch and stuff. I managed to keep it all because I didn't clear from the RAF until a day after my discharge date. I had nothing
at all with me when I went to PSF, and the FS got snotty with me. 'This won't do
at all' the little fellow bleated.. 'I'm in half a mind not to release you.'. 'Look at the date on that..' I suggested, 'I was a civvy 14 hours ago, now do you want my car pass back or not?'. The FS stacker by contrast, took one look at me in morning coat and suit, laughed and told the LAC not to waste time asking me for anything and to simply sign my clearance chit. It was the lad's first clearance, and he looked quite dissapointed. He was probably itching to account for 20+ years worth of socks and bill a gnr for a lost puttee. I'm not sure it set the best of examples for him.
