How were you fed down the route?
It depended upon the twats at 1 / 38 Gp Admin.
We were either on 'Rates' ie a fixed rate per per meal per place (easy give everyone their allowance), or 'ACTUALS', ie the actual meal cost of a table d'hôte per head that could be paid for. The latter was (despite the Penguins at 38 Gp) a bloody Nightmare for the CoPilot who would have to attend the Crew Meal at a restaurant and then the Groundcrew meal (if applicable later) with the comcommitant affect upon 'Crew Duty Time'.
Of course the bloody penguins in Accounts only ever looked at the ££ cost and never the Operational Efficiency.
