Exascot / Threeput, I thought the cut-off was 29 years old?
Anyway, at RAFC Cranwell in 1973 I used the boot of my MG Midget parked out in the cold - much better at keeping things cool than my room was.
Is there still some rule about not being allowed to take some alcohol with you on the MPA airbridge unless you're either some civvy contractor or at least a Sqn Ldr? When I finally made Sqn Ldr Spec Aircrew, I made a point of taking half a bottle of scotch with me to quaff at half-time in the ASI pig pen. Well, not all of it, of course, just a little sharpener to dull the joy of 'Pitch Black' (yet again) on the next leg if the videoplayer batteries hadn't all died.
