I had the temerity to ask my IRE if he'd burnt his breakfast toast midway through a PAR at Odiham, as the close confines of our Gaz had become rather fetid. The debrief was short, and was followed by an interview with OC ARW, who apprised me of the fact that, the previous afternoon my companion had torched the AAC balloon.
Our paths would cross several years later when he was BALO at 3 Bde, and would have to ask me (nicely) to release aircraft held by JATOC.
