Why do I remember Messes which would have been freezing cold after 1st May [or was it 1st April?] but just about everyone had a heater in the room?
The next problem was showers/ bath room/ bogs and down to a meal in an overcoat.
At Brize, my last sojourn, I had heater, microwave, TV, radio and lots besides.
The military covenant is rather one-way these days.
