During my time on a UAS we went to Wildenrath on summer camp and they didn't forget us in a hurry. Especially our arrival

Pantech loaded with our personal kit arrived at the main gate and was given an escort vehicle to strictly follow, so as to drop off the kit at various quarters and messes without getting lost. First stop (obviously) the Officers Mess. Car drives up to the entrance and driver follows as instructed.

It was just a pity that the large canopy outside the Mess entrance was about 2" lower than the roof of the Pantech... and more of a pity that the Summer Ball was that night ..

Fortunately the local contractors and German efficiency kicked in - the Pantech was extricated and the canopy made safe pronto but even so we weren't popular
