True story.

 

In 2009 I had a part-time job as collection and delivery driver for a Jaguar agency, collecting people's Jags and driving them back to the garage for servicing then driving them back to their owners in the evening. One morning I was told by the office manager to drive one of the "dump cars" to the local barracks and pick up Major Jones's car.

 

I arrived at the barracks, explained my business to the guard and he said, " Ay yes, we've been informed that you're coming. Just drive around the building in front of you and you'll see Major Jones's Jaguar on the parade ground. Park up and Major Jones will come out and give you the keys."

 

I did as requested. It was a lovely morning when from behind me I heard a cheery, "Good Morning!" and there was a woman in a major's uniform...

 

I bet that the office manager and the guard were in on the joke! 😄

I was surprised that Major Jones was a woman!

 

There's no reason why a woman should not be an army officer these days of course but I suspect that they're considerably outnumbered by male officers.

At St Mawgan we had the last Lancasters.  One was on the apron with its engines ticking over.

A young Pilot Officer came cycling across the apron and rode between the two prop arcs.

He wasn't touched but he was still pedalling when he realised what he had done and fainted.
