Ex 42 Sqn Siggy, Smiley Mildwater got fed up with being a console operator in the C130K Sim at Lyneham so stood in a bye election in the days when you could get out of the military quickly by doing so. He was the "Save the 2CV" party. Guess how many votes he got - yep - 42!!!
Mid-Staffordshire - 22 Mar 90. He didn't mind losing his deposit, but the worst thing for him was we all found out he was really called Bernard!
