Odd Memorabilia [Archive]

12th Aug 2018, 16:17

In the 'handing kit back' thread mention was made of odd bits of memorabilia that we keep from our service and which would completely bamboozle any relative given the job of sorting our kit after we've gone. One such item in my treasure chest is this.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.gmforum.com-vbulletin/521x608/cccp_f45f0b7766ae5aa723b9bcfaa708bcea1943b924.jpg

On IOT in December 1980 our tactical camp was at STANTA and I was on the 'aggressor' flight which pitched a separate low-profile camp and was trucked around the training area setting up ambushes against all the other poor souls who were still carrying pine poles from pillar to post in the snow. On the final night the distaff broke out the vodka and presented us each with a 'medal' to mark our bravery in the cause of the Motherland.

It was the only medal I got in 19 years' service.

On leaving Stanley I was presented with the mounted speedo of 'my' LWB Landrover, which apparently was declared BER [rear suspension trashed] after 4 months of overloading and bashing around the airfield. It was set at 15mph to remind me of the station speed limit!

MPN11 (#5),

Was that all that was left of it when you'd finished with it ?

Kept my button stick for years: it must be somewhere around the house still. It was second-hand when issued to me in 1941, and had the service number of the original owner (900,000 series) stamped on it. For that matter, my issue tunic was "part-worn", as well. Often wondered what happened to the first (?) owners.

Hung the other way up in glass tubes with the oil pumped from the bottom. The pressure lifted them and escaped around the edges, spinning them like tops in the flow for stability.

Got them as a momento when the T85 at Boulder was demolished - along with a section of waveguide....

In the old MPN-1 truck airfield radars, the mechs could detach a section of waveguide, put in a couple of slices of bread, replace and make toast in a few moments.

Early forerunner of the microwave ?

FantomZorbin

14th Aug 2018, 06:49

Aaah, the MPN microwave!! It was very useful when Red(?) Truck turned up at Finningley to give us some radar while the AR1 was being installed. The NAAFI meat pies seemed to reduce the contrast of the PAR elevation picture a tad so it had to be used with caution in IMC.

Still in regular use is my wood-handled ratchet screwdriver, 'gifted' to me by the OiC woodwork club at RAF L-o-O, who assured me that is was 'Class C stores'. Made by Hollands & Blair Ltd, and stamped 1971.

Somewhere in the depths of my garage is an original WWII brown canvas parachute bag, given to me by my late father when I was a youngster. It's not been opened for some 30 years, but from memory I think it contains some of my old flying kit; pale blue flying coveralls, gloves, white woollen socks and thermals, and an aircrew issue medical pack complete with morphine! :ooh:

A wonderfully useful thing, carry any amount of kit; used in our VVs in Burma to transport dogs. You put your dog in, zipped up so just his head was out, Carry him by the loops, he couldn't get out or move about the aircraft.

Hopefully he was parachute-bag trained !

Clearing my father-in-laws house after he had to go into care, we found a miscellany of souvenirs from his time in the Royal Signals in the Far East during WW2. Most interesting from my point of view was an original American forces CBI patch (Usually seen on the Flying Tigers amongst others). Unfortunately, his mind is too far gone to ask him about it now, if only we'd found it two years ago, I could have got the tale. No doubt swapped for something with an American - he told the tale of swapping rations with the Americans for a proper cot bed, and being the only one in his unit not flooded when Monsoon came!

Dunno about now, but when I retired in 1972, "Crombie" Greatcoats and Nos ! and 5 HDs in good nick and standard sizes went like hot cakes to SSC direct entrants, who saw no reason to keep Messrs Gieves and Moss Bros in the style to which they had become accustomed.

Keep the Hats for Old Time's sake, and memories of happy days long past. I still have my last "Bates" specimen - haven't the heart to chuck it out.. Hope Mary will keep it.

I seem to recall reading an article in Air Clues - it seems that some groundcrew lad popped his NAAFI trotters, tail and testicles pie into the baggage bay of a JP, only to be called over by the Chief for another task. Meanwhile the JP was manned up and the engine started - only to be rapidly shut down and evacuated as clouds of smoke appeared from the vicinity of the baggage bay....

A pair of locking wire pliers gifted to me as I left Brize Norton and still in daily use on aircraft some 30 years later... good old Maun, they know how to make them.
New unused set of engine data plates for the Conway engines as mounted on the VC10 engineers station.
RAF knife as in the ejection seat box
Bottle of unopened NAAFI Remy Martin Champagne Cognac marked For NAAFI Stores, it's the larger capacity smoked bottle one.
Bottle of unopened NAAFI Bacardi Gold Rum marked For NAAFI Stores, it's the larger capacity bottle.

I cannot remember the exact circumstances, but there was a lot of reallocation of accommodation at FY c. 1972, part of which included Met migrating from the hangar across the airfield to the Air Electronics block [better view, better loo].

ORCA, I believe we would take the red and leave the green. The red served as proof of death. The tags were super to be fastened so that the red could be removed leaving the green secure..

I know many aircrew tied the tags to their flying suits whereas handbrake house said they should keep the tags with our docs. I had 3_sets in the end. The 2nd had blood group added and the third as HBH couldn't find my second set in my first 😊

Anti collision, (Grimes), beacon and a stopwatch from an Omani Strikemaster, after it was withdrawn from service and put on a stick. Still got the minefield situation map issued on the 7th Dec 83, the day I arrived at Stanley. A set of 4 maps of the Falklands that were being dumped after the Herc det moved out of their tented area to their new portakabin at the tower, (loads of them there, wish I'd kept a few more now), and of course the obligatory Argie helmet. A lovely Sleeping bag I got from the Falklands det, and handed back a grubby gratis one that I got on Ascension months earlier.

Ken, we are assured 'not in UK'. The top is missing, the centre has a hole and there is an impact compression bulge around it. Similar size to an Aden ball but much heavier. Not the heaviest piece of metal at that size.
