Ah Gan, the RAF's 'Island in the Sun', land of the Not Having. Did a tour there 72/73 on SASFlt.

The place where Gan Radio did an outside broadcast on the huge pan talking to pax passing through. Equipment involved? A hand held mike and about 500 yards of cable back to the Gan Radio's little house.

The place where you could go fishing with a Bedford 3-tonner - trick was to run the fish over in the shallow inner lagoon.

The place where the Sticky Brit was the most awaited air movement of the week.

But it's all memories and recollections now.

It was like this . . .
