God, their groundcrew can drink though.
Saw some of their Tornado ground crew knock back 3 big bottles of Rosso each, in exactly one hour after they knocked off at 2200, I wouldn't have believed it possible to do it without looking really worse for wear but they were big blokes, plug ugly, still in their ovies and took it all as a days work and play. This was in the lads bar in Deci exactly 20 years ago, how time flys.
Er, carry on with the maintenance story.
Same was with the RAF once.. We all did, I remember going nightclubbing in Lincoln while on detachment from RAFG.. It was a free bar and a basket meal and we all slipped in separate so as not to get refused... The premium beer wasn't in the deal, but spirits were, so pints of 8 Bacardi cokes etc all round... I think they cottoned on we were all together even though dispersed
Sorry back to the story.
