Blimey. Watching the news report on the Battle of Britain Anniversary Service earlier (my Skype call to [livejournal.com profile] darth_hamster was briefly interrupted by a four-ship of Tornadoes inbound to Westminster for the fly-past) I see that the lesson was given by the Chaplain-in-Chief to the RAF, the Reverend (Air Vice-Marshal) Ray Pentland. Who I remember as the newly-commissioned Rev (Flt Lt) Ray Pentland, CofE Chaplain to the Initial Officer Training Course at Cranwell back in 1990.

I seem to remember him being a bit skinnier in those days. Mind you, he was running round Stamford Training Area with us young officer cadets, so that's hardly surprising...
