I'll give him a wave for you the next time he flies over my house...seriously, he's based at the local AAC at Wattisham and their Apaches make fairly regular visits, so there's a good chance I've given Harry a wave as he's gone past in his Apache.
They're good boys the AAC, and the Apache is a perfect fit for them, they have the freedom of the town I live in too, and they brought the WAH-64 over so we could have a look:

Harry is a credit to his family though, he's got the ability to level with the average person, and like you say, squaddies don't give approval to any old Tom, Dick or....heh...Harry. His mother would be proud of him.

EDIT: Just a small correction, just noticed that Harry is currently with 662 Squadron, it's 653 that has the freedom of the town, but they both (along with 663) operate from Wattisham as a part of 3 Regt, AAC, which is a part of the 16th Air Assault Brigade)
