When:

Caravans were allocated as MQs at N Luff in early 60s - Thor days!
Four of us bought huge yankmobile (5000 cc engine - 5 galls/mile!) for £10

In 70, just round the corner from my downtown MQ in St Ives (Cambs) a 3-bed terrace was £3250, but being pre Military Salary, couldn't afford it!

Families Offices and Families Officers existed - at least you could speak to a face and get things sorted rather than the DHE helpline they have to put up with now! Yet another agency success story!!
