My brother yesterday reminded me of the salt tablets taken by all RAF families on overseas postings, together with tins of powdered fizzy drink which may have contained other minerals. As we recall, adults in Aden took two or three tablets daily, we kids took one each. They contained probably 5g salt per tablet in today's money. Sixty-five years later we are warned that salt plays havoc with our arteries and we wondered if salt tablets are still issued to Our Boys abroad?
