I was at the first ever Happy Hour at Mount Pleasant, having signed for the complex to become known as Deathstar at 1400 one afternoon, to be furnished from 41 ISO containers by 8am the next day. Ghurka Major of 2/2 GR came to my rescue by saying his chaps would empty 21 of 41! We opened RAF Mount Pleasant on 1 May 1986, and the hooter for the first ground defence exercise went about 3am the next morning!
