Two Tone Blue - you say that West Drayton was the worst in every way.
The Officers' Mess accommodation was definitely the pits but mess life was pretty damn good. In the early 90s the job in the MASOR was the best and the views of the CASOR , from the balcony, (particularly in the summer) were definitely worth a second look.
Many will dine-out of the antics from the Mess for many a year yet !!
Ahhh yes........donning the waders first thing in the morning to clear the pond of the beer bottles thrown from the top floor.
