Brian, now there's the name of a true gentleman, Arthur Chapman. I had the great honour of being a GE, allocated to his crew during GW1, and he made me feel a real part of the team. I remember finding a "Muslim ? " compass, with 400 degrees on it in the local souk, and bought it for him as a Christmas present. With typical aplomb, he asked why I thought it was special, didn't all compases have 400 degrees ? Great bloke.
