ATC Camp Easter '86. Issued with KD on arrival.
red arrows (lower case used intentionally) arrived a couple of days after us; 100 Sqd then flying Canberra tugs were already in residence.
On a programmed visit to 100Sqdn, the Ch/Tech was getting a fresh banner from the store. He laid it out on the ground and painted 9 arrows on it in red paint. I wonder why?
A couple of evenings later in the bar, we arrived to find RAs at one end having a shouting match with 100Sqdn at the other end. Suddenly, 100 Sqdn went into a huddle, then their Eng Off burst out of the huddle carrying his artificial leg in his hand, hopped across the bar and started flailing the Reds with it!!
