From: Where I always have been...firmly in the real world
The 431 kit was even worse. A sort of box on wheels, which fitted into the boot of an Austin 1800 to give you an idea of the size, it was a "collection" of various tools, some "adapted" for past jobs, others, well past their use by date.

It was embarrassing, to say the least, when we went to other nations bases.

The Danes allocated us, and the Cat 3 Bucc, minus one outer wing, a hangar usually used to house a couple of Chipmunks at Karup. There, on the wall, was a shadow board, all "Snap On" with every tool you could wish for.

The Germans thought it was hilarious...as one drily commented, " ah, scrap ? "
