Short episode of officers preparing for the TEWT mentioned in Aidan Teevan’s history. Aidan did go on a bit about the “excellent al fresco meal” provided by Frank Yorke and later I will post some video of the meal, which shows the main attraction to be a large bottle of Valpolicella or similar fine vintage.

Here Dick Shortt displays all his skills of hand/eye co-ordination and dexterity that made him great. The attributes displayed that did, in fact, make him a great officer are the unflappability, recovery, poise and dignity shown in the face of adversity.
