Seem to remember the Victor 1 had a can heater. If you put a tin of soup in it before takeoff it would be luke warm on finals after a longish trip. Generally speaking our rations weren't bad - and Marham had a good aircrew feeder so you always took off well sustained.
Beagle do you remember the Limassol magic taxis? After an evening as described by you you got in the door of a battered Mercedes - slid across the back seat and fell out the other door at the Akrotiri officers mess. The intervening 10 miles or so passed in an instant - possibly operated on the same principle as in the transporter device in Star Trek!
Sorry - major thread drift here.
