I must have contributed 300 quid towards it.
I think 6+ people 'commanded' Lyneham during my 11 years.

I'm on my third set now. Not trusted with 'em anymore though..
17? I'm not sure which one of 'mine' it was, but after this nice particularly APC WRAF and I visited his private grape vines one balmy summer's night, the crop was all the more meagre for it. Sorry boss.

Wow! He must have cut mine a couple of times back in 79.
He would have seen some sights and changes over the years, but nice to see that he achieved a full career there.
Good luck to him

AGS,
Name of Sutherland perhaps? Ex Guards I think. I saw him clip a dog chain into the earring of an APC JT with the comment that if he wanted to look like a dog, he'd treat him like a dog.
I bet he'd get encouraged these days to reconsider his style.. the SWO that is (the techie got the message loud and clear to reconsider his).

I was thinking of JJ Giblin. He was the one who a bunch of APC guys went carol singing outside his house ( at midnight in July) He duly took all their names and had them paraded outside his office at 07 00. After he'd awarded them all a visit to Nicks he made them sing carols for another 30 minutes! He did have a sense of humour, I'll give him that!
