Gibbo586,
I was on 111 then and saw that very incident; I think it was late on a Friday Afternoon / evening and the aforementioned OC had just had the whole of his charge in the hangar to tell them that only the Aircrew were 43 Sqn and the ground crew were just Stn Support as far as he was concerned.
Then he got into his jet and spun it on the run way - something to do with the effectiveness of NWS vs rudder during the take of run as explained on my next See Off. There was much jolly banter in the NAAFI / Hendies / Commie to be overheard that weekend I can tell you.
Our boss (CCC I think it was by then) got us all in the following Monday to let us know what a jolly fine team of the 111Sqn Family we were !!
Regards
H (just a Sootie)
