Dengue Dude,

Pete Tyas, never was anyone more associated with Albert in my time. I must admit to knowing M*** L***y to! perhaps that explains my lack of hair. The one I always remember was Pete Tyas drilling a bunch of squaddie pax, whilst awaiting the arrival of the Royals to depart. It was pouring down, and rumour has it that Pete stood on the open ramp was ensuring they got a good drenching. The company Sgt Major appeared next to him and asked if he would mind if the Colonel was excused further marching in the rain. I'm sure, the man was a legend, his antics must be part of Alberts record of service.
