Interesting memories gents. My first was arriving at St George's barracks, Minden.....grabbing a Bedford TM and racing through the town, polizei at every set of traffic lights holding up the traffic and us just sweeping straight through! As a 20 year old, I was most impressed!!! From then on, the memorable moments kept coming thick and fast. The shouts of "stand to".....searching farm buildings for the missing squaddie thought to have been abducted by "peace" activists.......watching a crashed fuel tanker (I think) being lifted from a river.....being handed an envelope (quite) full of cash complete with a generous LOA.......plus many, many more.......happy days! As much as I loved it, it confirmed my desire to join the RAF......but that's another story.
