Does anyone else remember the pint-sized barman in the Luqa Transit Mess in the 60s?
On the floor of the bar was a man sized scar on the pristine tiles. He informed us that he had dropped a bottle of Cyprus brandy and that is what it would do to you.
At that time Saccone & Speed would deliver 200 Rothmans and a bottle of Teachers to the aircraft for 16/6. Should the whole crew have an order then a bottle of sherry was thrown in for free.
