I recall going to CGY to sit QRA for 29(F) over the Summer Ball night, following something the boss had agreed. The accommodation was much as you describe, Vern and nothing like a 'proper' Q-shed. It was a long way to 'run' to reach the jets if you were scrambled, we all thought.
The nice chaps from 29 strolled over during the evening, having clearly been enjoying the Ball. But did they bring us any tasty morsels or thank you bottles to take back to Wattisham? Err, no - which didn't go down well with my colleagues. Mind you, they had an 'interesting' selection of VHS tapes - including 'Naughty Little Girls'. Who, we found, were
very 'naughty' indeed - and far from 'little'...
Anyway, all was quiet on the Russian Front that night, so we handed back the commitment the following lunchtime, then had a 2:30 hour trip home in the usual MT rattletrap. A day off on Monday? YGBSM as they say.
