The RAFAT display in Malta on 29 September 1978 will long live in my memory. It was part of the ceremony to mark the operational closure of the Royal Air Force in Malta, in the Service's Diamond Jubilee year.
Not quite sure why you misquoted the original (and quite correct post?)

An anecdote, if I may - the team were 'billeted' in Malta in a ward of a military hospital (none of the luxury Greek resort hotels in those days..... :-) ). Above each bed was a notice which read

"If you require a nurse in the night, ring the bell".

The whole bell wiring had burnt out the next morning.
