As a once upon a time Pax in Transport Command Britt's, let me point out what it was like to be SLF in them.

Previously all of my time as SLF on Transport Command A/C was on Beverley's and Hastings. Including a trip from Marham to Mauripur and return that was 3 days each way

The Britt was quiet, it was smooth, it was fast, it was pressurised, it had a proper galley with hot food and drinks, so no more 'lunch boxes' and that 'orrible 'Orange Drink'. You could smoke on board, the seats reclined but the most welcome luxury of all, it had FLUSH TOILETS!!!!

No more stinking Elsans.
