When I was in the Royal Navy and based at HMS Daedalus in Hampshire, a now redundant airbase, the following incident occurred:
........a large black car with a flag on the bonnet swept into view. The car swiftly pulled up beside me, the driver deftly placing the correct door right in front of me. “Well here goes” I thought as I grasped the door handle and swung it open…
I immediately saluted as the
V.I.P exited the car. I nearly dropped dead when I saw who it was. His Royal
Highness, Prince Philip. He thrust out his hand and we shook hands warmly, his
piercing blue eyes looked right into mine as he said “Good morning” I replied,
“Good morning Sir”, trying to look cool and professional, but all I could think
of was how I hadn’t had a shave that morning as I passed him over to an entourage of waiting officers in the control
tower.
