That pic brings back the memories MPN11. I well remember the SAS catering tent. I recall the Pizza's as being pretty good, and there was always a rush to get there and get one before they ran out. I don't remember them doing them every day, but I may be wrong. I was there Dec82-May 83, so if you were in part responsible, thanks. I worked over at those 4 Rubbs (Called Spandrells), in the background, which was Ground Equip/GSES. At the join in your pic where the sea meets land, the 3 section tent to the right of the dark mound, was where the "proper" mess was located. I think this was RAF run, but the Army had a say in the portion sizes, and they were small, so most of us just used to go to the SAS for Scooby Snacks. Meat, cheese and jam on 3 slices of bread, in one large convenient serving, with no plates to wash after. I think most of us put away a lot of food down there and never seemed to put weight on, but one guy who did gain a little, earned the nickname Spandrell Belly.
