C Sqn Flt Cdrs. Ah, the memories.
1985. Night before Black Thursday one of the C Sqn flt cdrs decides to have his flight around his for drinks. One on the flight was expecting to graduate as a flt lt (eng grad, older than the norm with plenty of mil relevant civvy experience). Flt cdr asks him whether he is looking forward to graduating, family looking forward to it, gold braid at the grad ball etc.
10am the next day he chops him!
Cadet appeals, wins (sort of) and is recoursed instead. Graduates 12 weeks later and is now, I believe, a wearer of scrambled egg on his SD hat. The flt cdr left, I believe, at 55 (and still as a flt lt).
