Were you on 3 (F) whilst at Laarbruch?
I think there were three in the last six/seven years of Laarbruch (two on the runway, last one - in a greenhouse) of which I was in MEAS/ASF for at least four of those years 93-94 (PCMF) and 96-99 (HMF).
Luckily, when at Laarbruch, I never made it to a Sqn - so was able to enjoy most weekends away with family AND friends instead of just friends!
