Early nineties, 30 Sqn Albert is tasked into Gutesloh for night stop. As it happened we had a GAF exchange officer, lets call him Hptm Hansel Greenwood, recently made up as Captain. Crew immediately thinks "we could be in for a good night" and tells the captain to sort out the restaurant and entertainment. This he duly does, and soon there is a happy crew in taxis ready to eat. Enter said restaurant, Captain to bar to sort out previously made booking....."Good eefenink, ve haf booked a table for sirteen in ze name hof Greenwood" Crew now fall about laughing and tell the Captain that he is now allowed to speak German if he wishes. Needless to say much fun was had at his expense afterwards, usual stuff crossing the coast "Capt, Loadie permission to test guns" and one enterprising engineer also made him a coming mounted gunsight out of a paper cup.

If you're reading this Hans, then I hope you're well, take care
