I wonder if he will need to hand in his aircrew watch.
That was probably the most humiliating part of leaving the RAF after 22 years...they wanted my aircrew watch back! Normally loyal and long term service in civvy companies traditionally give watches as retirement presents. I thought my employer.......'Her Majesty'......was plain mean.
I was originally issued with an Omega watch but the contract changed and we had to swop for something called a Hamilton. Boy! it was heavy on my skinny wrist but kept better time than the Omega.
I now sport a handsome Bolex, purchased for a fiver in the back streets of Jakarta from a little man that guaranteed it was genuine.
