Heroes and Villains

We are all aware of the bravery and devotion to duty shown by many in the Royal Air Force, but not everyone who enlists manages to shine.

The other day, my dad recalled one officer (non-flying) whose car broke down on the way to work. This was in the 1960s. An airman stopped to give a helping hand. Fixing the car, the airman then followed the officer into work – just in case the car broke down again, whereupon the officer immediately charge the airman for being late for duty.

The airman elected to be court-martialled and the charge was dropped.

Without naming names, does anyone know of any other person of similar character?

My current Cpl, who is about to read her RAF career die in a very horrible manner on her next F6000. (Totally useless cow, hated by her Superiors, peers and subordinates).
