In the 1970s when I was regularly chauffeured around the globe by the RAF’s AT force there was little doubt that the preferable way to travel was by 53 Sqn Belfast and in terms of catering they were in a league of their own. When down route the loadies frequently used to bypass in-flight catering and head for the local supermarket/deli returning laden with gastronomic delights which would be served throughout the following flight. My memories of the running buffets that were laid out on the bandstand, can compete favourably with some of the better meals that I have had in up market restaurants.
