Also just come back from 18 hrs in theatre. Shambolic cannot describe the setup @ the mo!
Tents for visiting aircrew? What tents?
Comms? What comms?
Enough gnd equip? Where?!
Had to chuckle at the Thumrait Motel though. Must be the only hotel in the Middle East where you sleep in your own sleeping bag on the bed (Have YOU seen how dirty the sheets are?) and wash the following morning from the bottle of water from the local shop as the shower is either:
a: missing its head
b: exploding with ants
c: or has an unturned bucket with a blackish 'substance' underneath it in the middle of the cubicle!
Very reasonable food though.
Just a few thoughts...
