In late '70 we, 30 Sqn, went to Brize to play 53 at football ( the proper sort i.e. Arsenal! ) - we had quite a few good players amongst the navs , me excluded, Colin Burns, Joe Oldfield, Tony Guttridge, Ken Bull, a driver Dave Guest etc and won 10-0!.
Over a barrel later I got chatting to a first tour 53 nav' who had been IIRC an education officer or some similar bluntie trade - can't recall his name but he reminded me of a pilot mate Dave Carter who was later posted to 53 in '73.
I recall in 72/3 seeing a first tour Fg Off nav' on the VC10 down the route, boy was I envious!
