('tis a true story, I am assured!).
Indeed it is. Said F/O was 'invited' to HQSTC for a 'chat' with said VSO. So, a flight, train, cab ride later there is F/O Blogs standing on the Axeminster - hat on. After 5 minutes of nothing happening, VSO looks up from his desk and quietly says ' F**K off Noddy." Cue, long taxi ride, train ride and flight back to RAF G. Point made, nothing written down, noones career affected, respect earned. That was when the RAF was led rather than managed.
