Earlier remarks re semaphore indicators sparked off a further memory: the first flashing indicators were on the 1950 Ford Consul and Zephyr, and the first Zephyr I saw was a green saloon purchased by Sqn Ldr Polson at RAF Khormaksar in 1952. It was the talk of the station and his son Lennie achieved some peer status. Unfortunately it was not enough to raise him to Khormaksar Kids status, he wasn't sufficiently obnoxious. The name is unusual, I don't think he was aircrew or I would have pestered the life out of him, but I wonder if it rings any bells in our crewroom?
