When we tanked the Javelins out to India in 1963 we were put up in the 'Sun & Sand' hotel in Bombay. As normal we were issued 2/3rd/Rate One. This was 9 rupees a day, still the same as in 1947.
Edited to add. The NCOs and airmen had all their meals paid for them. The result was that the crew chiefs were being frog-marched into the dining room so that they could treat their aircrew to dinner.
