The GR1 (or what is 4 by then?) was doing Southern Watch in tents as well as the occasional Northern Watch - they moved from PSAB to Al Udeid when the F3s came to theatre due to the MiG23/25 threat around the time of DESERT FOX.

The funniest thing was that the GRs had endured years in crappy tents whilst looking at the buildings that the Bin Laden Building Co had built - as soon as they moved to the crappy 'Deid, then the F3 mates moved into the buildings (having finally been declared 'explosive free') and enjoyed air conditioned splendour and an Olympic size swimming pool from then on!

I wonder if 'Tim' is 'Sir Timo' - father of the MAA? That might be a fit?
