Smuj,

My reference to 'Rolex' in terms of the Co in that picture is down to his nickname. He had, shall we say, a bit of a short fuse and tended to get upset over the slightest niff naff and trivia.

Hence, Rolex - because he was self winding!

(Don't ever mention the Lyneham RW07 Approach lights to him!)


The Nav in the picture (G** B*******)? I have a photo of him somewhere wearing a BA Concorde Hostie's dress...
