HTB, sorry - I mis-id'd you. I was actually thinking of the 63 Sqn Nav Trg Off.

I recall an amusing incident regarding your predecessor at Chiv. He'd showed the daily nav warnings at met brief and had pointed at something with his finger on the OHP. The Stn Cdr took a dim view of this and told him to use a pointer next time.

The next day, our hero duly arrives with an impressive dayglo orange cardboard arrow which he'd made for himself. Unfortunately he wasn't that good with a pair of scissors and the end of the arrow was slightly rounded. So when he plonked his arrow on the OHP slide, it looked (not to put too fine a point on it) as though he'd flopped out his willy onto the slide. We fell about, he couldn't understand what we were laughing at - and the Stn Cdr's neck turned scarlet!

Such a shame that wonderful 'Heaven in Devon' is no longer an RAF fast jet base...
