Anyone know how Bert is? I last saw him on 30, but understood he retired and was driving a crew coach at Brize.
His nickname on 30 was Gloria after the character in 'It Ain't 'Alf 'Ot Mum'. However, he scuttled around asking everybody not to call him that as we had the SIB sniffing around as one of the ALMs was being court-marshalled for being gay - in those days it was a quick way of leaving the mob.
I remember our Wing Commander was living proof that a man could survive a personality bypass . . .
