Couple of my favourite lines were:-

SWO to airman on parade,' Laddie am I hurting you?
'No Sir' came the reply.
SWO ' I should be, I'm standing on your HAIRRRRRRR!'

Similarly, 'Have you shaved this morning laddie',
'Yes Sir''
'
Try standing closer to the RAZORRRR!'

At South Cerney during drill instruction,
Sgt Greenop, 'Stand at ease! -- Mr Ross your feet should be 12" apart! You're a big lad, you know what 12" is!'

At Gaydon, Nav School '66, the SWO was a 'Continental Irishman' Master Pilot,no one on parade could understand a word he was saying.

SWO, almost the best thing about the military and the portrayal by Windsor Davies in 'Ain't half hot Mum' was priceless!
