When the cadets were gliding the evening meal at weekends was at some early hour about 16.30 hours. Instead a Land-Rover was despatched to the rear of the dining hall and two large urn's one tea the other coffee arrived accompanied by loaves of bread,butter and jam,peanut butter and Marmite. That was all the food these guy's got but it kept us going. The cadets would often retire to the Hare & Hounds at Fulbeck. With my parents blessing I used to sit in the beer garden and given lemonade and crips as I was only fourteen at the time . You were not allowed in pubs in those day's and they closed at 22.30 hrs on a Sunday. I have very happy memories of Cranwell it was a great station for flying.
