Does anyone remember the great Danny Gourd, SWO at the RAF Regiment Depot, Catterick, in the late 60's? Al R does, he came up with this photo on another thread.

One apocryphal tale is that after inspecting himself in his mirror before going on duty he placed himself on a charge for his unsatisfactory turnout.

Not apocryphal was his habit of saluting junior officers (self included) at a range of around 100 yards and then bellowing "I'm saluting you sir!" if the salute was not promptly returned.
