"The landrover was a "Jolly Boat" or some such nonsense."

Landlubber! Surely every one knows that your 'Jolly Boat' was actually a 'liberty boat' and that if you wern't there at the times that it went then you didn't get liberty (shore leave). Oh yes, even land based 'ships' gave shore leave.

Back on track. Yeovilton's V bomber dispersal was pretty well organised, had 2 dispersals on the south side of runway 27 where the ski jump now sits and had its own accomodation blocks. Only ever remember it being used once sometime in 1968 I seem to remember for a couple of Vulcans. Remember a 'tilly' full of blighters turning up at the galley for scran. They would have been better off taking the liberty boat down to the 'Dolphs' or 'Lamb & Lark' for a ploughmans and scrumps.
