Brown and Root Contract operation using S-58T's from Teeside to the Ekofisk a long way out requiring a lot of fuel and sometimes very few passengers....we were housed at the Hotel on the airfield that once was the Officers Mess when the place belonged to the RAF.
The Hotel provided a Wake Up service and delivered your Choice of Breakfast , Hot Beverage, and Newspaper.
A fellow Pilot enjoyed numerous Pints of the foaming Ale one night and retired to Quarters with a very nice Lady.
As i stopped by Reception to make my Breakfast Order I noticed that he had not done so on his way to bed....errrrr.....for his slumbers.
In the spirit of brotherhood I ordered up Warm Milk, Smoked Kippers, and the Guardian for him at 0430 Hours.
Shall we say he was not amused!
Many Years later....while sat around a cooler of cold Beer in Mogadishu swapping Yarns....he tells the story....and somehow realized who it was that had done the dirty deed. As we were sharing a Room in the Portacabin I slept with one eye open for a while.
OW was always a pleasure to be around and told some good stories himself!
