Apparently it was about some bossy guy who was in charge of ops there.

Tyne - To set the record straight, you can quite happily make two important amendments to this sentence so that it should read:

Apparently it was written by some boss guy who was in charge of ops there.

Quite apart from being a very experienced naval aviator who also commanded at sea and ashore, Bob McQueen was an extremely pleasant and thoughtful "boss" who treated all comers of all ranks with both kindness and consideration. No bossiness there!

For those who are interested, the following link may be useful:

Whittles Publishing - Island Base - Ascension in the Falklands War - by Captain Bob McQueen and who better to tell the very important part played by Ascension.
