Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't get there until 1966 and it was then just like the RAFGSA, Christian name terms only applied on the airfield.
I spent 17 years involved in running an RAFGSA club and Nigels and Rodneys were not welcome. I can remember one famous day when I had an Air Commodore driving the tractor and a Wing Commander driving the winch.
Both of them were happy to be there.
