The sarnies saga takes me back to an exercise in Germany in the mid seventies.
After over a week of appalling weather and living on compo the squadron morale wasn't great.
The cook was getting sick and tired of the whining and headed of to complain to the CO or so we thought.
Nothing was said but the following day the CO appears with the cook in tow. All the pax seats were removed from an aircraft and the CO and cook launched off.
On their return we off loaded a stack of hay box's (alloy food containers) full of steaks, pork chops and other goodies.
For one day only but nevertheless a major boost to morale. Maybe we just had a better class of officer in those days and also a fine cook.
