RAF slang - "Camel Corps"
Hi all,
I would like to ask for help in one unusual matter. When one RAF airmen got killed in suicide attack with lonely Beaufort against Gneisenau in Brest his fellow make a note into his diary: "He found his death precisely like we expected it from the Colourful head of our “Camel Corps”." Can anybody explain me the meaning of terms "Colourful head" and “Camel Corps” as I am not English native speaker. I suppose it will be reflection of RAF Staff or the commanders who planned the operations which killed his comrade but I would like to know the exact meaning of these phrases. TIA Pavel
