Reflections after an aircraft crash
A bit macabre, but mention on another thread promoted a thought.
Two car ownership back in the 60s was not common with the husband using the family car to get to work. Sadly crashes were common. Honest must-read all a casualties on-base possessions were impounded for security, this was said to include the family car this leaving the widow stranded.
It was rumoured that one's mates would take urgent steps to get the car off-base before it could be impounded.
Was this true? If it was, is it true today?
I also remember one EGM to write off a liver-in's fairly large mess bill. This was large as it included the previous month's bill too that should have been paid. The current bill was written off on the nod but there was a vigorous debate on previous month though decency prevailed and it was written off too.
