Hereward, 2 Sqn Mascot as a pup - May 56.   Alan Middleton tells the story of Hereward: "He was officially recognized and was on the Airmen's Mess ration list.   We used to have a daily Duty dog officer, who's tasks included collecting his food and feeding him, and allowing him to sleep in the DDDO's room.   He snored and eventually was so big there wasn't enough room for him and you on the same bed!!   We had to get rid of him unfortunately.   He began to feel the urge and as he was as big as a donkey by then he was a real danger to all the bitches on the Station!   We found a good home for him with a German gent who bred St.Bernards and Hereward found satisfaction!"
