The tradition of a bomb bay pannier full of fruit and veg to Gan continued on the 205 Shack changeover until late 1970 (ish), equally distributed between the messes and paid for 'at cost' - the crew paid for everything and got their money back on arrival. An equitable and much appreciated service. This all came to a halt with the arrival of a new NAAFI manager. When he 'discovered' this trade he played the 'NAAFI is the only 'allowed' importer' and complained to the Stn Cdr, all done behind closed doors. So when the next Shack arrived he appeared on the pan and insisted he bought all the fresh goods - the crew had no choice (he was backed up by the CO) - but assumed it would then be distributed as normal. However, nothing appeared in any of the Messes, but the NAAFI shop suddenly had fruit and veg for sale at astronomical prices - individual apples, oranges etc for more than the crew had paid (and sold) per pound, and the Messes complained they couldn't afford his prices. His excuse - he had the right to cover transportation costs for all his goods evenly! Funnily enough, most of the stuff rotted on the shelves or in his storeroom. And that was the end of the fresh food delivery.
PS - No mention yet of the water from the artesian wells (which had a taste all of its own), or the Wave Victor, the RFA permanently anchored in the lagoon with tanks full of fresh water for visiting vessels but not for Gannites!
