endplay, did Gan have a SWO?
We arrived in a thundestorm, or rather as one approached. As our wg cdr descended the steps a WO greets him (what not the stn cdr?
). The WO is attired in shirt and shorts with flip flops rather than shoes and is carrying an umbrella and no hat. (In those days we wore hats around aircraft).
The wg cdr duly b*ll*cks the WO for being improperly dressed and was highly irked not to have been met by an officer of similar rank. At that moment the storm broke.
The WO opened his umbrella and escorted the wg cdr to the crew bus. The apron was 2 inches deep in water which was bouncing to about knee height.
Not another word about dress was mentioned.
