Does anyone remember the "negligent discharge" by a Hunter at Gutersloh, which just happened to be pointing at some offices ............. I seem to remember a hushed-up event in my time, so it must have been late 1960s?

This would be in the days of Sandy Wilson and Pete Gover and possibly Tiger Tim, all on 2 or 4 squadron.

Many years later, when Wilson became A O C in C RAFG and was duly knighted, he was referred to on a tannoy announcement at a German-hosted event, as "Sir Wilson!" His first accomplishment was to have the clocks in JHQ [the RAF part] synchronised, "and about time too!" as one wag said.
