I completed my RAF career at Bruggen, in 1993, I actually handed all my kit in at that clothing store. On my first tour in 1979 I had a chipbag hat made there, never wore a berry again. Still have it.
Lol, it would take you more than 7 minutes to get into a Noddy suit straight out of the packet!!!! We always used old noddy suits for exercises in UK and RAFG. The only time I ever received a brand new one was in Saudi in 1990.
Can you imagine how things might have gone if the flag went up?? I mean a real conventional war between the NATO & Warsaw pacts. There was so many weapons ie; tanks, planes, missiles. It makes you wonder who would have really won WWIII. I’m pretty confident that as soon as one side seemed to be losing nukes would have been used and that would be the end of the world as we knew it. I know the Soviets were massively ahead in the shear numbers, but their command and control (as we now know) was severely lacking. Their equipment, though more in numbers was mostly lacking even basic maintenance and supply logistical planning. NATO did have the technical and logistical advantage, but I’m afraid nukes would be the great equalizer.
I SPREAD MY WINGS AND KEEP MY PROMISE!,,, err well,.... we, that is you! will go over the top, sadly heroes I shall be very much at the rear with the gear of that I have no fear, But good luck to you Rodney's in grow bags I'll see you back at the mess perhaps post the scrap for tea and medals,, tally ho.! Check the tyres and light the fires, I'll be safe thousands of miles yond any wires! Such is the mantra of any sane airman Brylcream boy or crab..
I did 28 days in Bruggen jail, so I didn't really see much of the camp apart from the gym and the mess...
