Spent about 21 months mainly in the D.O.,1960 to 1962,
our head of department was a rear character W.O. Charles Cooper MBE.
He ran the department to the 'book',many's the time if we stepped out of line, up on a charge.But we did have a good number of laughs at his expence.All in all had a great time there,met some grand lads,unfortunately lost touch with them.

Hi Draughie.
You must have taken over from me, as I left September 1960. I did some D.O. work there but spent more time on Depot Plant allocation. Did you have anything to do with this?
W.O. Cooper rings a bell. Yes he did play by the book and want things "correct". I once answered the phone "Resources Office speaking" and he blew up saying "How the f.....g hell can an office talk"
