Back in the days of 'Are you a real sqn ldr or a VC10 captain?' Brize had an Air Cdre as staish when Jock Kennedy was promoted in situ. IIRC, when Air Cdre Kennedy moved onwards (and, eventually, upwards), he was replaced by 2 x gp capt entitled Stn Cdr (Ops) and Stn Cdr (Protocol)! Can't remember the names of these worthies and I left Brize soon after so I don't know how long this quaint arrangement lasted - I suspect it went down the plughole during the massacre of the Strategic AT Force in 1975 (if it lasted that long).
