Sir's, Ma'am's, Ladies & Gents
Your transport this evening from Bardufoss to Lyneham has been cancelled due to lack of funding/interest. You will now be transferred by coach to the nearest ferry terminal, where your unit will be expected to cough up for the crossing.
Don't have a go at the AT fleet, just because the're playing the game better than you are. They put more hours in, in more sh1t holes than you do, be grateful they are coming to get you and STFU

That being the case, I can well believe that at the time the original issue, that no host accomodation would have been able to be confirmed, it was just to far down the line.
As someone who used to be sat in the tent at the end of runway, I can sympathise, but I know there is a lot more to it than just the Crabs are in the hotel again.

HWI,
I would think very seriously about withdrawing this thread and apologising if I were you. If you have used the (subsidised free) WIFI at Bardufoss then you are very traceable. You might also need a second Herc to carry home your wallet with all those ludicrously high rates that you have ponced out of the system whilst staying in Norway and drinking in the bar at £1 per tin with free food and accn. I am ashamed to serve under the same (Joint) Command as you, you do your service no favours with posts like this.....

lmfao, green eyed monster at work here.
Like BE said, any fool can live in a tent.
Get over it boys and girls, if the herc crew can get some decent accom for the night then fair play to them.

Back in 1970 there was a thee-crew Shack detachment (airborne SAR cover for Prince Charles) to the Caribbean and Mexico from Puckoon International Field. Our accountants burned the midnight oil and all thay could come up with was HOTAC with all meals on the imprest and about a quid a day in LOA. Then, the day before departure, the support Herc arrived. I took the co-pilot for a coffee and he was bragging about the allowances. HOTAC accommodation + two thirds of a rate one. Huge dosh.
I asked him for the reference, which he gladly gave me. As Maritime was newly part of Strike Command, the rules seemed to apply to us. I drafted a Signal Message, the Boss signed it and three hours later we got approval. Thanks Herc mates, we were all in the same Air Force after all! We did enjoy Bermuda, Nassau and Acapulco.

Neptunus Rex, how often that sort of thing went on back then!
Having done a tour on the Tin Triangle and armed only with a copy of Strike Command accounting instructions - plus the plea "Do NOT put any booze on the bill!" - I once did some accounting stuff for our F-4 detachment which had been royally screwed by the host station. When we finally flew back to Wattisham, I gave them the forms to sign and said "Shut up and do what I say!"....
They all received a reasonable sum in unclaimed a££owances, having been completely unaware of their entitlement.
Yes, they took the pi$$ with some banter. But I was rather annoyed that not one of them ever said thanks....

Still when the RAF is disbanded and AT and SH go to the AAC, HOTAC will be a distant memory
Living in tents is highly over-rated, anyway. Too many rules when you are in a camp. Bashas rule - and no-one shouts at you, nor do you have to salute on the way to eat

And here we have a perfect example of why the forces are crumbling. The politicians must be absolutly loving the way all 3 services bitch,moan and infight about petty issues, trying to score cheap points, and fighting to keep capability by claiming the other services don't need x..
The defence review handled itself, watching the "top brasses" falling over each other to try and belittle & degrade the other was exactly what the government wanted. They are playing you off against each other, watching you pull yourselves down to the lowest common denominator!!
If you are too stupid to see WHY the crew should get a decent standard of accomodation, I suggest you do a bit of reading about fatigue & air law.
On the other point, perhaps if the forces recognised & respected each other & showed some co-operation & solidarity, we might not be in the mess we are now. Glad I'm out in 6 weeks, it's getting embarrasing now

That sounds like a girl I once...'knew'
! Except that the 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' normally followed the 'Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It, Stop It'.....
Isn't that rape.

"
The cuts haven't reached the Herc Force yet then !
Crabs are flying into Bardufoss on Fri to pick us up in a Herc. Crew of 10!!!!!. Accom offered here but they have already booked into the Bardufoss hotel. Will cost over 2 grand for the night. I hate Crabs
Just read this link on FacePPRuNe ! obviously not on the dist list when the news broke that we have a financial problem !
"
So, was it £2000 plus?
Was usable accom' refused?
And who gives a toss?
Personally, I suspect that the only truth in the original post was that the poster fosters and encourages a large degree of jealousy of those who were about to take him home from his holiday on the piste.
