Well, there was this RAF station in the Cotswolds, many years ago, and
the WRAFs based at the camp used to get a bit lonely -
Bourton-on-the-Water had yet to join the dance club revolution. For
some unaccountable reason the young Met Assistants at the camp were
treated as somewhat special by the local WRAFs, maybe they thought we
had more brains than the average erk or they just used to see too many
uniforms. It was not unknown for the girls to come and visit the
lonely Assistants on nights. Obviously, being the mid 60s and before
the permissive age we have today, we were reduced to showing the girls
our Besson Comb Nephoscope and whirling psychrometer - Damn!


Would you like to come in and see my Vantage Pro ? LOL - a great line possibly.
And you got paid as well John :-)

Will.
