What a Way to Go — 1950’s Style

[avionic type]

Does anyone remember the Troopship Empire Medway in the early 50s? she was a bundle of fun ,rolled her way across the Bay of Biscay like a drunken sailor on her way to Gibraltar and the Near and Far East , no cosy bunks "You are on a ship laddie HAMMOCKS for you "and not a decent cigarette to be had only we got boxes of 50 of the slightly scented variety, they were awful .Glad we got off at Gib to happier times of decent RAF food only a good posting provides, Tea, made with Carnation milk [No Cows on Gib] plenty of sunshine not too hot but we all got very brown the best 2 years of my youth . Flew back to UK in a Hunting Clan Viking in 1953 .
