Thanks for that bit of info on the GSM , Union Jack, I hadn't heard that one before, but it certainly figures. Yes Ian, I remember Sir Michael's DFC/AFC - I was staring right at the ribbons one day at Khormaksar when I was a PO as I was standing to attention getting bollocked rigid by him for some sin of ommission! (and yes, you did wear medal ribbons on KD bushjackets). He was a hard man, but obviously no fool to have made MRAF. Ive just thought, he must be the only man still serving (technically) to be wearing the Aircrew Europe Star.
