Archimedes; Top work wih the thread link, it said everything that I was thinking about the euphoria over Sir Glenn's appointment. I only met the new guy once but I worked with/for a family member of his who seemed surprised and delighted (in equal measure) at his appointment to AVM so I wonder what he's making of this latest elevation.
It would seem that it's "Events, dear boy, events," rather than individual ability that matter once you've climbed to the top of the pole.
Has anyone got a nominee for the best CAS of recent memory (say the last 90 years or so?) I'd throw Peter Squires hat in the ring myself, if only for his people skills.
