Not very P.C. these days but at Wittering in 1966 fairly normal.
The SWO had wreaked his revenge by picking most of the GoH from Victor Line Sqn. and those that hadn't manage to get out of it were assembled outside the armoury to draw arms. One of the unfortunates was a Nigerian electrician known as Joe.
The SWO then numbered and sized off the GoH, Joe ended up in the centre of the rear rank. At this point OIC GoH appeared and spotted Joe in the rear rank, he pointed at Joe and told him to swap places with the airman who was centre front rank. Joe smartly came to attention before saying "Tell you what sir, I have a better idea. Why don't you put me on a lead, and stand me in front of the band ?" For all further rehersals and the parade, we had a different OIC.
