As a member of the TA, the mobilisation of the reserves in Crusader 80 was called Ex Spearpoint. I flew to Germany from what is now Glasgow Airport but at that time was still called Abbotsinch. We flew on a BA 747. As a lowly Private I got spammed for the baggage party. Bugga, thinks me and my mucker, should have kept out of the CSM's line of sight. By the time we'd finished loading all the kit, however, the only seats left were in the first class cabin! Only time I've ever flown anything other than down the back, but we were still given our rations in the white cardboard boxes.
