Yeah, Mr B. He was a colourful character. Of course, the bar at Akrotiri was no place to upset people unless you wanted swift and severe retribution. I recall OC 43 (HD) being badgered by a nav one evening in the bar. He turned to a large sqn pilot and barked in his characteristic cockney, "Walta, take 'im out!". Pilot takes nav outside, boys hear duffing up noises and pilot returns to his beer. Nav re-appears looking worse for wear and verbally attacks boss again about the damage to his £150 italian leather shoes. Bored boss barks, "Walta, when I say take 'im out, I mean 'ospital job!"

A good job nothing like that happened in that wonderful film about the dambusters.
