Although the USAF exchange pilot on the Victor Tanker fleet was not allowed on Ascension, the Americans residents there were very cooperative and the support from the US on the logistic side was superb. Catering was completely covered by them with frequent C5 flights, accommodation in Concertina City came from them, not brilliant but a lot better than British tents and they provided many other backup facilities. In fact the place was ideal for operational action until OC Admin and his Chevette Set turned up and ruined it.
