Whats in your airing cupboard?
|
I have vague mememories as a 5-7 year old living in MQs at RAF Abingdon,early 1960s of accompanying my mother to collect freshly laundered sheets (with 3 dark-blue lines down the centre) from a laundry on the station.Is my memory playing tricks ?,or were these provided in those days when domestic washing machines were not so ubiquitous.

Not so at RAF Nicosia 1961 4, but in Comet Crescent in almost all other respects "we never had it so good".

I'll give him a year to 18 months before promotion...

That’s nothing I have a tank in mine! old joke I know! |
Minor digression warning.
Back in the day, RAFG seemed well paid and perked, so that new cars and frequent holidays were the norm. During one flap [cause forgotten] I stashed a very considerable wad of DM, thinly arrayed and wrapped, under the driver's foot mat. And there it became forgotten [clearly surplus to requirements] until we bulled the car ready to upgrade yet again. Those were the days when cash was king and we could mislay a large chunk. I wonder what she spent it on? |
It speaks volume for the quality of their accounting systems and processes. How come nobody noticed the £300k was missing from the safe?? Major Wilson is as culpable as WO2 Hodgkinson in my view.
|
He's probably counting himself lucky that Clare Balding had moved-out of his airing cupboard a couple of days earlier. Imagine the stink if she had found 300k of Royal Navy petty cash stuffed between the sheets.

Some defective heating controls.....what a time!

Yes, 3 blue lines down the centre of all bedding including blankets and of course the bolster case - remember those? Aaron. |
So three hundred grand disappeared for months and no one noticed? But only the one guy got hammered for it?
