According to this link there is only one carriage left and that's
the one near Hull. There's a photo of it in the article.

Bit of a shock to find Seletar rationed.

Are we sure we're taking about the same thing ... Duty Free cans for home consumption?
I've no idea what the 'rules' were in respect of the Tengah "plumbed for Tiger" Officers Mess - our draught consumption was unlimited, as I knew to my cost [fiscal and health!].

Then there is the light beer named after an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria.
The village is 33 kilometres north of Salzburg and 4 kilometres east of the German border.
Its name is 'F*ck*ng' and the beer is sold as 'F*ck*ng Hell'....

They other ale that was nice was Jever Pils, though it had the curious after effect of turning your poo black.

No, no, no - only Bitburger. Had a brewery trip in 1982 when detached to a well known US base. The brewery wouldn't let us leave until we could barely walk - with heavy fog for the whole weeks detachment none of the aircrew mates had to worry about getting up. So clean this beer that you don't get a hangover (unlike wobbly!!).
Dortmunder Union Anyone?
Memories of the 1st & 2nd Posts in Wildenrath village. Victor's Balkan restaurant for an eeeeeenormous Balkan platter.
Over the fence to the rear of 92's dispersal was the Ponyhof. If night shift finished too late for the regular bars the ladies of the Hof would always oblige until the Mess opened for breakfast.

I think I should start a new Thread about "When I Was In FEAF*"
* WIWAF?
Bloddy RAFG, you jammy sods.

There was jammy and there was jammy!
consider the desperate hardship of 3 years in the sun at RAF Nicosia, then 3 at Leeming, Topcliffe,
3 years at EDUO with the Hunters and Lightnings
5 years at Finningley
3 teaching in Met Office College
3 years in JHQ as senior forecaster
HQ 1 Gp in time for the Falklands
a few years in the wilderness of Civil
6 years in JHQ as C Met O BFG
Pass GO, collect pension .............
Somebody had to do the hard yards, wish I could have been lucky.
Seriously, the great times we had alongside the RAF remain as highlights in our lives. The great times that we remember through the haze, that is.

Ahhh, but did you correctly forecast that haze?
when I'm right, no-one remembers, when I'm wrong, no-one forgets.
What haze was that?
