Similar at Topcliffe in the early 80's. The Bedale Hunt invaded the airfield. Bulldogs buzzing about, Hounds huzzing about, Charlie Fox f****** about, Horses horsing about (?)....whatever.

I was despatched in the ATC Landrover to get them off the airfield. Coo, what fun. 40 odd hounds, 1 Master, 2 Whippers-in and muggins trying our best, when over the STORNO radio came the ATCO i/c (he was never a SATCO), "I WANT THEIR NAMES, I WANT THEIR NAMES".

My response that there were "Spot, Rex, Bingo, Prince, Bonzo, Laddy etc" did not go down well.

The chap had no sense of humour. Although the Matelot's thought it was a lark.

Ah well, I really enjoyed being Orderly Dog for two weekends in a row.

Happy days.
