During my 20 odd years on RAF SH it was always the AAC that dripped on, incessantly, about the the RAFs hotel culture even when we were colocated with them!
At no point during my 18 years of living in squalor with the AAC have I found it necessary to begrudge my sideways-scuttling colleagues their "hotel culture".
In fact, I managed just once to take advantage of this culture when attending the Swiss International Airshow at Yverdon many years ago, staying at the same palatial digs as a det from those fine Chinook chaps of Gutersloh. One of the loadies kindly invited me to partake of a beer or two back in their apartment, even furnishing me with the location.
Sadly, I didn't get the opportunity to take-up the invite, as my colleagues and I spent the night drinking beers bought on loady-mate's room number.
Cheers, easy.
