Pam (Air) 429
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Jeff, I had a search today. Any idea what the subject matter is? If it is one of the survival series they were like the proverbial back in the 50s. You would have thought they would have been issued one each - desert, arctic etc so we could study before hand. No, they were in the survival packs. The desert one would probably have been ideal in the arctic as dual purpose toilet paper and firelighter. The survival pack would probably have had a deficiency chit for the white one.
The other most useful piece of paper was the one produced by AIDU.

Anybody remember the classic line in the Desert Survival Pam?
'Sandfly Fever
To avoid Sandfly Fever, avoid being bitten by Sandflies'
Brilliant. Good old Air Ministry. I wonder if things have changed?

I remember the bit about keeping one's hands off the sheiks daughter if one wished to leave with all one's body parts in the right places and fully functional.
I still have the gooli chit. (two for good measure). The wording was a classic too. "You will be sufficiently rewarded." What was wrong with a bit of understatment - lavishly - massively - enriched beyond the dreams
Dear Friend, I am a British airman. I do not come here to do any harm to you who are my friends. I am only here because of an accident to my aircraft. If you will assist me, my Government sufficiently reward you s soon as I am returned to safety.
Mmmm

And your government can't do that any more because it has spent all the money on banks that got themselves into trouble? British servicemen? Forget it, your cannon fodder ..............

Had no look on the intranet. Thanks for the input! Spoke with my oc about it and it would appear that no one actually knows what this pam air is about or what its called! But my problem is solved. If the raf is cannon fodder what would you call the paras? :d X52

You'll find one on Amazon, although its spelt "Pam Ayres". I was particularly fond of her ditty "If I'd only looked after me teeth".
Or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick again?

FCWhippingBoy,
That will be PAM(Air) 393, I may have read that more than once as well.
PAM(Air) 428 is:
ALCOHOL MISUSE MEASURES TO COUNTER HARMFUL USE OF ALCOHOL
A GUIDE FOR COMMANDING OFFICERS, FLIGHT COMMANDERS AND SUPERVISORS
So... is 429, joining instructions for The Priory

The RAF Museum has extensive archives unfortunately it does not appera to have an online catalogue. It really depends on how keen you are to seek out the truth.
