AEW Shacks. Three radar screens, four operators, so a ready made chef. Take off, galley on, tea and coffee all round, swiftly followed by hot dogs. That gave time to do bacon, sausage, fried eggs, beans and mushrooms. Lunch - endless possibilities, but “honkers” stew was always a favourite. Oh by the way, the menu didn’t really relate to take off time either...Away for the night at, I think, Honington. Explained to their caterers that we might be tasked for QRA when airborne, so had to ration accordingly. Airborne, aimed for home, in flight raffle.....and the winner of the bacon is.....the captain - loud cries of “fix”!
And yes I was a better cook than I was an AEW Op.
