Do the guys up North still carry a home made wooden box with all the rations that were liberated the last time the crew were scrambled on SAR? Frey Bentos S+K pudding in a tin. Always a favourite at the bottom of the box.

I am convinced that is the reason Nimrod crews were so healthy - they were constantly bombarded with strains of bacteria that only grew in the rations box. They would have been banned under the Geneva Convention.

DCS added to any Honkers went down well. If they were not used in the stew then a race was held on the bus post flight between the a/c and ops to see who could finish off a whole one.
