Dumbing down RAF officers
Got fully commisioned rather than "acting" with only a few weeks left of National Service.
Posted to Cluntoe as "supernumery officer", otherwords no job. spent the last few weeks of my national service doing inventory checks. Cluntoe was at that time a new station with prop driven Prentices. Stores had requisistioned things from HQ, and what had arrived was not always what had had been requisitioned, so spent time bringing records up to date.
As Station duty officer, light relief, found donkey wandered on to perimeter track, handed it over to guardroom, who were not pleased. We had fed it proper Irish guiness, so it was a but unsteady on its feet.
Did manage to serve as Duty officer and orderly officer without disaster.
