I remember the first thing the Staish at Benson said on our arrival '' You haven't brought your Rocks have you?'' This was after the sqn regt flt had left a trail of broken furniture and airmen after their last night at Benson before we pulled out for NI in Nov 81. Benson were very helpful as we had handed in all our deployment kit when we went to Ireland. They opened stores on a SUNDAY and said help yourselves. Nobody signed for anything and when it was called off they didn't ask for it back!!!!! On our return to Aldergrove we found that our wives had had a party in our 3 day absence and drunk the place dry. Teetering we must know each other PM me but I guess you should be able to work who I am!!!
