Req : Beer Calls & Mess Parties
I remember that!
Beagle,
I remember that incident. I was also there and your post brought the memories flooding back. Boy did we have a good time.
I also remember drinking in a bar with someone who later became a Station Cammonader (see what the drinking does to you) and AOC. I think it is disgusting that the RAF encourages a drinking culture.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Beagle, good stories, but best to wait at least for the hangover to begin before typing. 
Hic....!
Hic....!
'Pink rabbit', surely, Skid...
And one gathers that the Beetle tried to ignore it?
Bastard Bill's attempted D-notice ensured that the entire AD force knew all about it though!!

Good to see you remember the code BEagle!
Careless talk etc..
The Beetle did ignor it... until it got kicked up the arse & started squeeling!
(think this all got 'trotted out' on a thread a couple years back though)

The stunned informant said: "While our lads in the north are giving their lives, this tiny bunch in the south seem to think it's a party. It came as an utter shock to me because this sort of behaviour is so rare.

BEagle - you are as ever well informed.
He's currently writing his memoirs - you'll be able to read it there!
...Oh, & yes it was Sqn Ldr Trotter who eventually removed the 'pink rabbit' to the bar.

48hrs after she had arrived every man and his ‘sqn cat’ had seen it.
*I use the term 'lady' loosely, although she was good looking and I’m not talking Falkland standards good looking!

I remember the time, at a Northern QRA station, where we all went to the Mess at about 7.30pm. It was brilliant, because we all stood around in small groups and quietly chatted till about 8!!! Then we had some food, and afterwards, someone said some mildly funny things!! What a riot. After dinner, we all reassembeld in our little groups and chatted quietly untill the bus took us home at about 11.30pm. Oh, those were the days.
Of course, that kind of night is totally banned now. Progress? I ask you?

Anybody remember the Toga Party we held at Mt Kent in Dec 1985. We brought most of the WRAFS, WRNS and WRACS from Stanley up by helicopter and they all stayed the night. Lots of grinning mountain men come the morning. So successful we ran a Valentines Day party 6 weeks later much to the annoyance of CBFFI who heard via some idiot girl who sent a "thanks very much" message on BFBS radio. For some reason he didn't like us hijacking the helicopters to act as our bus service for the evening.

Then there was the time when in the Falklands we were so stealthy that the tannoy announcements were in sign language.
I wasn't there, I didn't do it and I absolutely never welcomed the Sherwood Forester's on their first morning with a wake up call of "Timber!!!!"
