When I arrived at LL as a Cadet in the early 70's I had the pleasure of being posted to B Watch and the unforgettable Les & Harry (the colonel) show. After graduation I continued at LL as an ATCO and thought what a great job and everywhere else must be like this!
Brendan's bow tie, flying paper planes off the balcony to see if we could get them to the Queens Building, the trouser incident - all true and more. Les's perpetual diet was another - "how's the diet going Les, is it hard?" "No I can eat as much as I want, only thing is I'm now eating lunch for 3 weeks time" was the reply.
The noise level on the Watch was something else but the list of characters on the Watch was superb all led by the unforgettable Les.
God bless, thanks for the great times.
