Argus -
you could always join an Antipodean Club (such as the Naval, Military and Air Force Club of South Australia)
With an entrance fee of $939 plus an annual sub of $470 for a 'country' member it would almost be worth it for a West Aussie to get a first class flight to London, go to the RAF Club in person and empty my wallet on the front counter. And with the value of the Oz dollar currently cutting my RAF pension virtually in half the likelihood of spending dosh in SA is somewhat unlikely.
