The 'Pease Greeters' at Plymouth, the former Pease AFB, meet every military flight that lands there for refuelling, regardless of time of day or night, with a similar welcome into the terminal, where they arrange free pizza, doughnuts, coffee etc. The last time I went through there, the veterans paraded both nations' flags, national anthems were sung, and gifts exchanged. an amazing experience.
The Monarch crews know them quite well by now, as its a regular refuelling stop.
