Re: RAF slang - "Camel Corps"
Pavel
There was an Army Unit officially known as the Camel Corps in WWI.
I don't think there is any special significance in the words "colourful head". "Colourful" usually means that somebody is flamboyant; somebody who is often the centre of attention in a group. That possibly describes the airman as the "head of our Camel Corps". "Camel Corps" is likely to be slang possibly for a sub-section of the unit concerned.
Can you provide any more information about your airman? It might help to identify what trade he was?
