"Paddy" (the Earl of) Bandon
Seen here as C-in-C FEAF on his first visit to RAF Gan, May 1958.





...and here having a drink with his men. He insisted that no other officers were to be present so he could hear personally of any complaints.

I always regarded "The Abandoned Earl" as a leader who inspired confidence in his men who was regarded with affection by those under him.
