Late '80s out on Feldon Moor, North Yorkshire just a stones throw from the RAF Regt Depot. It was a very cold rainy November night, just perfect to be on Feldon (...not!)! We had returned from a lengthy night nav ex, cold and wet looking forward to getting a brew on. As we entered the harbour area we found some fellow studes had already made it back and were busy trying to warm up. One stude attracted our attention as he has hunched over his Hexi stove desperately trying to light a small white block, with damp matches, in the pouring rain. Gradually we gathered round, offering advice on how best to light said block and trying to provide some cover. To one side was a RAF Regt Cpl intructor who watched with some interest for about 10 minutes before stepping forward, reached down and picked up the white block.....which he promptly put in his mouth and chewed! It rapidly became apparent that our unfortunate 'brew meister' had been trying to light Kendal Mint Cake for some 20 minutes.....
