The SWO at Waddington in the mid 70's was, if I recall correctly, Larry Higgins, and I was one of many, many flt lts. In the late 70's I was posted to Wittering, followed some time later by Mr Higgins. On meeting him for the first time there, after the customary "Morning Sah" etc, I said, "Good morning Mr Higgins. Perhaps you don't remember me, because there were many junior officers at Waddington, and only one SWO, but we were there at the same time." He said, "Sir, you are correct, I don't remember you, but then I never was the SWO at Waddington" I looked bemused so he continued "No sir, I was the Station Warrant Officer", saluted, and marched off.
