Sharjah 1963-64, the tables in the airman's mess had dishes of salt tablets, vitamin tablets and paludrin tablets. We also got a monthly issue of a couple of bottles of cheap concentrated fruit squash. No fresh water in the ablutions, showers & handbasins were all salt water and needed "Vel" soap to get a lather.
The only difference between winter and summer dress was that in winter we wore socks, in summer we didn't. I still have my National Health style sunglasses
