ricardian,

Well that the Malcolm Clubs are not forgotten - oh, if only we had people like Tedder, "Batchy" Atcherley and "Paddy" (the Earl of) Bandon, with us today !

They had a good Malcolm Club in Geilenkirchen '60/'62. Bought a Baldamatic there - a fine 35mm camera with built-in rangefinder and exposure meter, for just Dm150 (say £13 then). A Flt. Lt. DAPM we had married one of the Malcolm ladies there.

Quote from Hansard: "Was it a crime to use a generous gift which we received from the Bristol Company for the purchase of accommodation for a Young Officers' Club in Cadogan Gardens, which we had to close after eight years' service owing to the German business ?".

Stayed there half a dozen times between '52-'54. Did d/b&b for 18/6 (IIRC), the best value in London.....D.

MPN11,

Thanks ! Not much room for a paramedic plus patient, though. Now you mention it, I have heard of it being used for that purpose, but would think the Stinson Reliant (normally used for casevac) could get in/out of much the same tight spots that the Tiger could......D.

Warmtoast,

All right for some ! (War is Hell)...D

Cheers, all. Danny.
