Sorry if my posts annoyed you guys. I was, and still am, surprised at how so many of you considered that it worked as a simple drama even. Truthfully the females were nice to look at, and also, like "Death in Paradise", the South African heat was welcome as our winter approaches.
Also, thank you for the posters who did append research links.
Portrayed action featuring Khormaksar within the programme was pretty minimal. Surely the troop of arriving Christmas turkeys should really have heralded "Spring time with Hitler", or some such Monty Python nonsense. Dear God that it actually did happen!
At least it has enabled me to contact an old billet mate from those years, and to sort through the ancient photographs.
