| Bob says "the skinny chap with the fire extinguisher, far left in
photo, thought it would be a great idea to scrape
the black paint off the tops of the extinguishers and polish the brass. The
DI went mad and made him polish them every night, but the Officer I/C
thought it wonderful on inspection which tipped the points and we got a 48
pass through it.

Bob remembers one Bull night in particular "you notice we are rather black, especially the one on
the right. The reason for this is he was blackening the stove with this
black paint /polish stuff they gave you and he was at the top of the stove
pipe and he slipped, dropped the tin and the paint went all over the floor.
We spent 4 hours getting it off hence us all being covered in the black
stuff. Every night after that we had to polish the area to get it to look
the same as the rest of the floor because it looked different"
