Slightly off topic
The SWO, a WO Basten (surely a misspelling)
I recall the name as being the SWO at Benson in around 1977/8. He replaced or preceeded a WO Benstead (ex Lanc AG and very scary man) and I had the pleasure of his company every Thursday afternoon carrying an "ersatz" coffin from the back of a 4-tonner and placing it into the back of a bin wagon. At the time Benson was the nominated unit unit for the repatriation of any royals etc who died whilst overseas. I think it was called Op "Haze" or something similar, anyone else remember it?
Apochrypal SWO story no, good memories for a now aging WO; definitely.
