"Master of GAPAN "
Slight thread creep, but I had a look at the old GAPAN newsetters and was funny to see that the previous Master, RPE, was able to get to many pics of himself into one news sheet. It reminded me of when he was staish at Leeming, I think the record was 41 pics of himself in the station magazine, although the average was mid 30s.
Anyway back to the thread. As a nav who left a long time ago, its a shame - a shame to see the same old crap banter coming out. That said, I was pretty bitter after my BFT chop, and if truth be known, was never that content in the back, even though I was probably a lot better placed there. Still, finally ending up in a tank mean't that the driver was probably the lowest rank, along with the gunner/loader, whilst I managed the formation, tactics and general welfare of the troop so I guess Finningbobs served a purpose.
