Heard a story iirc that the practice of removing some of the first class galley stopped after a Banjul service saw the whole return flight bar disappear to the crew hotel leaving a large number of mainly jocks who had been on a dry oil rig for a couple of months without refreshments.
I did a baslair charter in the mid 80s and met up with a Cali crew who had just had a fancy dress room party..attire was black bin bags.
Happy days
The use of 'brown milk' coupled with 'Banjul' brings back unpleasant memories for me which I won't go into.
