Mate's dad was an NS army trooper and spent some of his service in Aden, where he was mostly living in a hole in the desert. On one of the rare trips back to Steamer Point and the nearest equivalent to civilisation, he was tasked to get some new mossie nets and various other bits that would make life upcountry a bit more tolerable. He wasn't best pleased to end up queuing at the stores behind a dapper young RAF officer, who was giving the blanket stackers a hard time as they couldn't find him a new table-tennis net.
