Ref earlier poster on free steaks etc on a stopover....you were lucky...i was on a flight in a Herc to Nairobi, stop-over in Akrotiri, no worries but then the pilot/co-pilot (cant remember which, in 93) decides to break a leg and we are stuck for another 24hrs.
Whats the problem you say...well in the next 24hrs 2 Companys of Paras are due for a stopover from jungle training in Brunei....2 months under the jungle, no alcohol and accomadated in the same transit block as us. Needless to say we didnt get sleep that night!! Took turns holding the door shut!
