I first met Adrian Coppin, now heading up Currie & Brown’s Italian Office (‘Nice work if you can get it’, CM Feb), in sweltering downtown Abu Dhabi, some 20 years ago. To his colleagues he was always AWAC, from his initials and the US spy-planes that regularly flew over the Persian Gulf.

But by night he transformed from QS into Steve Garratt, the evening DJ on Capital Radio, Abu Dhabi... I wonder if he has been in touch with Radio Milan’s English Service yet?
