Finningley, 1975.
0745, a steady stream of airmen walking down the main drag to work.
Joe the SWO appears on the Guardroom Verandah. The cry of "YOU, AIRMAN" rents the peace of the morning.
200 Airmen halt mid stride.
"WHERE IS YOUR HEADGEAR?" bellows the SWO.
199 airmen breath an audible sigh of relief.
From the throng, emerges 1 small LAC minus top cover "I have a chit from the MO, sir". He bleats.
"WELL, WEAR THE F****ING CHIT THEN" is the response.
199 Airmen wet themselves laughing.
