But on Royal Air Force stations catering has always been to a high standard.
Apart from RAF Waddington Airmen's Mess in 1967 and 1968 that is.
We staged the great Mess boycott, treated by Their Airships as a mutiny and investigated by the SIB. The 'snoops' uncovered a catering swindle and the mess caterer and two accomplices were court-marshalled after which the food improved enormously.
