For Iraq II [whatever Op it was called] I was CMetO HQRAFG and remember emphasising just how cold the desert nights were. ....... shades of Bravo 20 freezing their b*lls off sort of thing.
Sandy Wilson was heard to say that the assembled throng had better take it seriously "he sometimes gets things right".
It was not unil he arrived that all the JHQ clocks on the RAF side all told the same time.
