Just slightly off topic but still, I think,connectable - in the book "Seek and Strike" [a history of Bruggen] there is reference ,on pages 78 and 79 ,to some larger than life character identified only as Fg. Off. X who was thrown off 14 Sqdn. then 31 Sqdn. then,in turn returned to the UK where he ended up at Finningley. He was highly thought of there - took early retirement, went on the Krypton Factor. Unforgettable apparently.
The book contains much more amusing detail than I've shown.
Is he on these forums? Is he identifiable? What can he possibly be doing now?
