Our Squadron somehow qualified to swim in some big BAOR competition in Berlin, trouble was at the last minute it was discovered that whoever travelled would need a perfect ID card to get through the East German lines. A quick parade and ID check later and about 2 of the swimmers had good enough ID cards, the remainder of the "team" was selected like this...
"Right you lot anyone with a perfect ID card stand on the left, Now, can any of you swim??"
Consequently, amongst others. SwillyBilly ended up in Berlin, at the Olympic Pool, on the starting block in a pair of Nylon Man Utd footy shorts (everyone else of course in speedos and hats). determined to do his best for the Sqn, he did an immaculate racing start and proceeded to finish the length (in last place of course), with his Man U shorts round his ankles and a rapturous applause from the grandstands for his 50m full moon.
