Wg Cdr Bond - OC FI AW
Sqn Ldr 'Elvis' Costello - OC 1435Flt
Tony Hadley - OIC Spandau Ballet
Ah yes, I was temporary Sqn Ldr (Air) down there for 6 weeks at the time.
I recall the SSAFA show which included Tony Hadley; the dancing girls were astonishingly attractive (by local standards.....), but the lousy sound system destroyed Hadley's rendition of 'Gold'; it was so appallingly bad that a lot of people just walked out.....
Another problem at the time was that 'The Goose' was causing a lot of trouble. After 2 spurious fire warnings and evacuations, OC twenty five to three was warned that one more event and the place would be shut down.....
As for logbook entries:

What a fun-filled 3-day period that was....
