I did a year as the XO in 88/89. Loved it.
Happy hour at 5, Landrover to the lake(Voe) at 2100. Wine in the water to cool, BBQ on and fishing for trout all night in brilliant sunshine. Landrover back to the Mess at 0730, full fry and bed. Perfect.
Plenty of work thanks to Ivan. Brand new Mess. Locals 'Odd' but OK.
Had not heard about the new radar though. About 12 years too late.
