Gzornenplatz
My FI memories are the same though the best food was on board the RFA's if you were ever lucky enough to be invited on board.
The RN seemed to get the first pick of any fresh rations sent down, the army next and the RAF got the left-overs - still the RAF cooks were brilliant and the results were great for maintaining both the waist-line and morale.
Best of all though was 1312 Flight who through a cunning plan with the met officers in Ascension and who were based on Green Mountain, managed to import (for a price) fresh tropical fruit; pineapples, grapefruit and melons were serious "currency" to barter favours.
One "trade" I did was to get the loan of an army motorcycle (with spare jerry can
) and so was able to set off (with others in company for mutual support in case of an accident) across the Camp and so get to places I'd never otherwise have got to see up close, such as Two Sisters, Wireless Ridge and Tumbledown and round to the Murrel river.
