It is probably just me and my strange sense of proportion but three full pages of posts in 6 hours on grubby MT seems a bit skewed. However, never one to miss an opportunity so may I wholeheartedly thank the excellent MT service provided by a predominantly RAF crew at a NW London HQ almost on the Herts border. They are a cheerful bunch who are open before dawn until well after dusk. The cars are de-iced and warmed up when frozen and the team manage short notice requests with skill. It means that the HQ staff can concentrate on early starts and late returns to achieve full day visits and meetings. Neither MT nor the customers have access to a fixed car wash so they sort it out with a lance.
Returning to the first post, I seem to remember that Yeovilton had a fixed vehicle washing facility that rarely worked in the summer and never in the winter. Is it better?
