During the ball after my graduation parade at Cranwell in the early eighties, an RAFP who was on my flight (coming up from the ranks), with whom I thought I had a cordial enough relationship throughout IOT, sidled up to me and said something along the lines of "I'll be watching you . . . wherever you're posted, I'll be looking out for you, and if you make a single mistake . . . ".
To this day, I still cannot think what I did to deserve such special treatment.
