Smujsmith,
I recall the night "fry-ups" in our old Radar Rest Caravans. Like your "loadies", Radar mechs could turn out a feast from whatever lay to hand. As to the disposal of surplus beer and wine, it was a hell of a job, but someone had to do it !.......D.

Vb, hope it's back in the air somwhere now. But the plastic replica looks quite nice, and the scrap metal thieves round here would have had the real one away by now anyway. Thanks once more .........D.

"Spam" is an acquired taste, but it "kept the home fires burning" (in a manner of speaking) in the war. The rest of it doesn't sound at all bad. Your Ground Crew was too "picky", but

au gratin......D.
This is what our Forum's all about !
