The reason why there was no charge for food and accommodation at RAF Mount Pleasant was because we worked a 6 day week.....allegedly.
But the number of vehicles in the car park on Saturday mornings showed that not many people actually did so; perhaps the Happy Hours took rather a toll? 1312, of course, have a 'dry' detachment being on standby 24/7...or rather, the VC10 crew are.
The helo boss, 'JJ', got rather fed up with the fag charioteers and their smelly old mat, so went one better. During Happy Hour, the end window opened and an MS26 appeared, followed by 'JJ'. Grinning merrily, he pulled on the lanyard with the predictable result.... Then invitations were issued for cocktails aboard his rubber battleship - to all except the fag charioteers who were left talking to themselves on their scruffy old mat.
RW style......
