When Giant Voice was cancelled in 1972, OC Waddo, 'Des", cast around for a way to compensate the four understandably disappointed crews. He hit upon a long-weekend trip to Wildenrath. Those who were able to persuade their wives that this was a normal training exercise made their way uncertainly at sparrows', after a typical Friday night Happy Hour, to Fox Trot dispersal where a Hastings awaited. A magnificent creature appeared in the doorway with luxuriant white hair sprouting unrestrainedly from under a hydraulically soaked SD hat. Fixing us with a jaundiced eye he bellowed, "Skip, the f@#$&ing pax are here". Sort of set the tone for the whole weekend.
