In my early days on 8 Sqn Shacks I was responsible for the rations. Following a very early briefing for a 12 hour sortie we went to the aircraft and loaded the rations. After an uneventful take off the spare radar went to make the first round of drinks. Alas he could find no cups to make the drinks in. Guess where fingers were pointed. Solution unscrew light coverings and use the globes as drinking vessels. There were only 6 so quick turnarounds required. Took a long time to recover from that.
