The Lotus Eaters.
Whilst on 232 OCU '73-'74 I met an interesting assortment of co-jos and navs (radar) who used to play in Lotus cars around Norfolk.
Black flag days meant either a "Downex" or a "Swaffex" would be "on" with very expensive outcomes in some instances. Hence the name Lotus Eaters. There are vague memories of runs through the grounds of Sandringham.
I can also remember that winter and that Siberian wind blowing off the North Sea.
Pity about the pubs. we loved them.
