I've almost retired and when I sent my man Carruthers down to stores to check what was on my loan book I found all they wanted back was my gas mask, my tin (OK Kevlar) hat and ....... you guessed it the Aircrew watch which had been languishing (unserviceable) in my sock draw for 10 years.
They accepted the watch with thanks. Smiled at the virtually unused Kevlar lid and suggested handing the S6 respirator to the RAF museum. Who says the civvies in these MAC stores have no sense of humour.
