the SWO, Jack Holt
..aah Jack Holt - what a SWO!
When JH was SWO at Odiham, young Fg Off Teeters found himself hanging around the Staish's outer office for some reason. Staish was the namesake and the "lesser" son of a very well-known WWII Air Marshal and post-war CAS and MRAF.
Said Staish had very receding hair, but made up for it by growing it very long (well over the collar) at the back.
JH marches in, stick under arm, slashed peak etc, delivers scary salute and:
JH: Sir, I have checked your diary with the PA; it is free at 1530 today, so I have arranged for the Station Barber to come to your office. Thank you Sir!
Another scary salute, about turn and march out.
Ohmigod I thinks, I've just seen the SWO tell the Staish to get his
hair cut!
