ISTR in 1958 there was an entry in the 2TAF Confidential Order Book to the effect that "Officers shall not arrive at the Hook of Holland drunk" One arrived at the Hook' via the well stocked' leave train system (Red, Blue, etc etc). Probably a hangover (sorry) from when Squadrons took leave as units and the war reparations boat' went Harwich-Hook-Harwich, with no stabilisers! Dutch Courage' for the North Sea crossing?
