When you remember curious anomalies such as male only stations (eg Wattisham)
Huh? Male only? When I was at RAF Wattisham, some of the most delightful young ladies I've ever known in the RAF were stationed there.
Unfortunately, so was one who later became known as Mrs. Doubtfire.......
Anyway, what about
:
The pre-'dial-a-mate' phone system
Blue L a n d R o v e r s (sorry about the spacing - there's some stupid PPRuNery without it)
Red fire engines
MT Zephyrs and Standard Vanguards
Shreddies
Proper batmen
'Cabbage kit' was rarely to be seen
Civvies were rarely to be seen
