roving (#11394),
Ah, there we have it ("early 1950") - I did not come into contact with 608 until October, 1951. Don't remember anything said about it. But thanks for the link all the same.
The redoubtable Sir Basil put paid to my aspirations of a General List P.C. in 1952. Not that it would have mattered, CMB would have put the stoppers on me in any case.
C'etait la vie !
