No NAAFI's breaks anymore.

The lads worked from about 3pm until midnight that day. It's all well and good putting the engine in, you then have to ground run it to make sure it's ok.

I wish we had a NAAFI here or a Spar shop, as they are called now.
The nearest shop is a 15 minute car trip away. Then again the all ranks mess is open 24/7. Foods very good solthum

Bar opens a 19:30hrs and then closes at 22:00hrs, they are talking about starting a 2 can rule soon . We think it will start after the squadron departs back to the UK, thank god
