The Captain referred to in the story who insisted on being called Captain G*****Sir was on VC10's and was extremely unpopular with everyone so much so that he would not put his suitcase in the hold as it often got lost or squashed or left on apron in rain.
Heard many a story about Capt Blade from Senior Captains who had witnessed first -hand his behaviour as Junior flight crew.He was thankfully very much in the minority.
