Trogs,
Not only did they make you feel welcome....you were welcome! There was always a room available somewhere in the host of guest houses....a quick lunch in the dining hall....a cold beer or two dozen at the Heli Club...then back into town for a curry or fish and chips....and closing the bar at the Chequers with Jack Trigg. Of course we should not overlook "Sword Stick Tommy"....
Once saw a fellow show up and ask for an overseas posting....something about a Sheriff going to deliver a Summons....he was on the 125 flight to Kano that afternoon. (Was not I!)
Yes....the good old days!
