...the days when the Approach Room would be IMC in tobacco smoke...
How else could we calm our shattered nerves ? And when the WRAF came in, Mark Twain (?) came to mind:
"First, God made Man - then he made Woman - then he felt sorry for Man and made Tobacco !"
Coke machines in Towers ! What next ! Ain't tea good enough for the likes of us ? What are WRAF Assistants there for except to brew tea for the Lords of the Universe ? Who got the profit from the machines ? NAAFI, I'll be bound !
Have heard that "Coke" is good for cleaning bumpers and loosening rusted-up nuts and bolts, too. Just think about what it must be doing to your guts !
Sounds like yours were posh ash trays. On the Squadrons we made use of sawn-off engine pistons, which for some reason seemed in plentiful supply (about five in dia).

Too right ! - and just as well, too ! (only jealous).
