When you could get a real sandbag..... all hessian and nice, none of this cheap imitations you get these days for floods.....
When the only people that went to the Gulf were BP
When the RAF had planes to spare........manpower........a budget.......
And to the above and the buffer saga............ polishing the floors up to a mirror finish at RAF St Athans then accidentaly dropping the buffer and cutting a nice V shaped hole in the lino..........
Getting hold of the said V in the lino and heaving it with all our might and tearing a big section out of the Lino about 10 foot wide, followed by tipping of lockers and beds...
Several of us trooping up to the Guardroom, all shy and innocent and relating to the Orderly Corporal that we had just returned to our block and someone has trashed our room.
Parade in morning outside block of all rooms, whilst punishment dealt out to all the other rooms, for the wanton destruction, as we all looked on wide eyed and innocent
Sorry for that where ever you all are
