Ah yes, Haraka, bulling one's SBL hut up for inspection, what utter fun that was. And woe betide anyone who actually used the cere' bog or shower!

In 1968, we normally used the manual bumper, but then discovered an electric polisher lurking in the bat cave. So it was duly hoiked out and switched on....

Clouds of dust and crap shot out of every vent, which the alleged polishing brushes then ground into our almost pristine floor.

Yells of "Switch the bŁoody thing off!" to the slowest moving person in the hut, one Flt Cdt R**s V****r, who you will undoubtedly recall. He wandered over to the socket and did as asked.

"Err, BUGGER!" was the next comment; we then spent ages clearing away the damage and repolishing the floor so that it would pass Uncle Les' eagle eye inspection the following day.
