Moving 150 Edinburgh based soldiers from the Athens of the North to the green damp place across the water, do you:
a) Lay on something large and comfortable to fly the boys from Turnhouse to Aldergrove?
b) Lay on a few noisy uncomfortable things to fly the boys from Turnhouse to Aldergrove?
c) Insist on a 5.00 am report time at Lyneham to board a few noisy uncomfortable things - thereby necessitating a ghastly overnight coach journey, no sleep and more aggro between the Light Blue and the green?

d) Insist on a 5.00 am report time at Lyneham to board a few noisy uncomfortable things - thereby necessitating a ghastly overnight coach journey, no sleep and more aggro between the Light Blue and the green .... and then land at Edinburgh on the way past (never did find out why). Approximately 650 miles travelled in 24 hours for a net gain of 6 miles.
