Biggest, by a country mile, Habbaniyah - Two airfields, Main and Plateau, plus a flying boat alighting area plus a hospital plus two Sgt's Messes, two Officer's messes, two cinemas, a swimming pool, a shopping centre and, last but not least a Zoo!!!
Best - Dishforth on Valettas and Bevs, Thorney on Varsities, Marathons and, much later, S&R.
Worst - Kirton-in-Lindsey, El Adem, Khormaksar and Luqa
Best posting - Bangkok (in the 60's when it was still civilised)
First - Kirton-in-Lindsey (cold beyond belief)
Coldest - Cliffe Pypard(sp?) in January.
Last - Brize -'nuff said
Where did all the time go?
