Hi Bill & Ian,
Here are a few more
pics for the lads. This batch will complement those Chris Lacy sent in
as we both were there at the same time, he will remember some of them
I'm sure. For those that never managed to get there, you don't
know what you have missed.
The first one is
some of the lads having a bit of light relief on our way to Chattamal in Mexico.
We used to leave the minibus in the BDF barracks by the border,
then get a taxi to town drink a few slammers eat a few taco
and do a bit of sightseeing & shopping.
The second is a the
famous butcher Radar Pool party. These were usually held on the Wed
night after the Vicky 10 bought in the moonies. During the day most
of the lads would stand on the mound at Butcher Radar to watch the Vicky
10 land, as it passed the site score cards would be held
up to mark the pilots performance. Not always good I hasten to add
as was the response from the pilot as you can imagine, we would get the
two fingers out the side window.
The third is one of
Bobs bar on a wind down day. These always started on a Friday
afternoon about 1630 hrs both myself (with the hat third from the
left) and a GSE fitter named Rodger Clarkson (next to me with the can in
my face), used to get a couple of slabs of beer and a bottle of
Appleton's Rum then make our way to Bobs to help the lads unwind
for the weekend. On this occasion they decided to hold a
toga party, problem was we had no togas. So a couple of the lads
went in to a billet and removed them from someone bed while they
were sleeping, hay presto costume and party. All the best lads.
