... and courtesy of the Director of the Royal Armoured Corps, who was a sprog 2Lt when we served together, I'll have the use of the Officers Mess, a running barbecue and free entrance to the museum for my whole family for the day. And separate parking.

 

Oh the joys of being a Royal Armoured Corps Alumnus.

Sorry, Double, you were too late. Though on Saturday morning I did mention to Sarah RJ, the Brigadier's wife that I'd had a chance of a stand-in for Wor Lass but I had to respect Mess security.

 

You wouldn't have enjoyed it: it was full of retired officers.

 

Apart from the Brigadier, whom I actually recognised by face, having last seen it on a sprog Lieutenant on the vehicle park about 1982, the only person I recognised was by name, he being our crew's perennial arch-nemesis at the annual RAC Regatta at Kiel. In the past we'd only ever seen his transom disappearing over the horizon.

 

But we did have a nice chat with an ex-13/18H who'd crewed a DD Sherman up the beach ahead of the infantry on D-Day.
