OK
I,ve waited long enough.................
Big Tudor...........whenever did Air Traffic get in ahead of the groundies to get the DCS,s (and anyway the only time there were any left was on a DET JET)
Without a doubt, if the SAR jet scrambled for a short job, invariably the Rations (Compo) were opened to make up a "honkers" this meant a complete re ration of the back up........groundies tea bar was supplemented every time ( unfortunately no DCS on the SAR) when the job landed
And just how many times have Navs and Pilots fought over the Tea Time biscuits.....I,ve seen so many tantrums because there were no jammy dodgers left
Finnally, I remember the day we went from frozen to Oven Chips....something to do with lardy aircrew
And don,t start me on about aircrew ration rates on detachments
PS....without a doubt the most amount of rations I,ve ever seen loaded was in 1982 when we launched the 28Hr trial trip....16 Big Bags of ISK,s finest in flight offerings......16 very big bags
