Thought I'd retransmit a previous post on a similar earlier thread a while ago
here and found out
that it was 9 years ago!!
Here it is:
Working as an augmentee in the SF Cell at PWHQ at High Wycombe. We'd just got a couple of further augmentees from R Sqn as watchkeepers, so the SO1 decides to take his regular SO2s (two brown, two or three light blue) out for a meal as it's the first time we could all escape together.
Check in by 'phone when we get back from the fleshpots of High Wycombe, "to see if all is quiet".
"Very quiet in the office ...." says very laid-back watchkeeper, "....but we appear to be bombing Baghdad!"
Instant sobriety, back down the hole and a long time 'til the next evening off .......
And there are 117 other answers to the then OP's question
"16/17 January 1991-What were you doing?" - and only one from
BEags!
