Dougie's tale of dropping the chaps in Gib brings to mind a similar exercise based at RAF Butlins. Having dropped the troops at Ladies Mile for the 3rd time the crew were relaxing at the open ramp waiting for the next lift. The local ice cream van appeared at the offices opposite us, cue ice cream van being summoned to Alberts ramp so the Loadie could supply the crews chilled rations. Troops appear to find van still there, "slight delay while we finish our 99s" quoted the Nav. Ring any bells Dougie?
