Last time I recall it being this difficult to get volunteers was in 1965: 88 and 89 Entries in the Towers main lecture hall and Wg Cdr Cadets (Lockyer?)asks for 48 volunteers - silence - asks again - more silence - "OK, I want 48 volunteers to be the escorts at the Miss World Ball" - further short silence then Scottish voice that was meant to be a whisper and wasn't - bursts out "You must think we are adjectival stupid". But that is what it was, and a good time was had by all.
