RAF Sharjah 1963-64. SWO post was a FltSgt. When I got there the SWO was FS "Sid" Reilly, ruled with a light touch. His replacement (on his first overseas tour in 20+ years!) spent the first morning marching around in KD and Nr 1 SD hat b*llocking all and sundry for minor dress infringements then spent the next 48 hours in SSQ with heat stroke and severe dehydration. He did calm down a bit but was never as popular or as effective as Sid Reilly.
