Camlobe,

Thanks for your post #1218, as someone who spent most of his Hercules GE career in the back of Albert, like you, I saw what it was like for our customers. As a "rigger" by trade, always enjoyed a bit of banter with fellow tradesmen on Squadron deployments etc, usually delivering a xx Squadron Houchin to Deci, to bring a YY Squadron Houchin back to blighty. I never knew that Houchins only worked on particular squadrons. Always found any old Houchin worked on Albert. Some good times though on OP Granby, where I think all branches of the RAF gave it their best.

Coff,

Welcome back and I'm sure you will find something of interest as you catch up. Hope it was a good time.
