Just to pick up on the inflight meals. I was in the Inflight Catering Section one day when the SNCO I/C showed me the latest batch of frozen meals after a contract change. They were a good deal smaller than the previous ones ! He defrosted one and put it on a standard RAF dinnerplate. It might have made an adequate starter ! I phoned up the Command Caterer who knew nothing about the change. All organised by MOD and given to the lowest tender irrespective of quantity and quality. As always typical of decisions made by people far removed from the coal face who never have to live with the realities of those decisions.
