The Atlantic Conveyor was a god-send not only to the stackers; a lot of inventory holders must have been looking to the skies and saying 'thank you'.
ST, correct me if I am wrong, but that bent stores bloke, who created a drought of flying clothing, also pillaged all the other stores at Odiham, although he didn't need a key to the back door because he volunteered for duty stacker at weekends and grants and therefore had the keys to the front door - and nobody bothered to ask why he was so keen!!.
Don't know if he was involved in the scam at Odiham involving National Carriers and washing machines.
