VC10 tanker self catering on Operation Provide Comfort (Incirlik) often included 'Betty Crocker' cake mixes. The cake would be mixed en-route to the towline, baked while 'sausage side' and eaten with coffee on RTB. We used to take a lot of American passengers on these trips as they couldn't fly in their own nation's aircraft and also because if they crossed the border, got yet another medal. A PA would be made stating that we were now over enemy territory and that the US passengers could have a medal, all passengers of other nations could have a slice of cake. One day we had a news team from the Washington Post flying with us who reported the cake baking activities in their journal. The British Ambassador to Washington read it and choked on his morning croissant. The news reached us at lightning speed the day after the flight concerned. We continued to bake cakes.
