JR,
A pint of the strongest rum?!!? Ah, happy days. I was on my divers' course in HMS Sembawang - or was it Terror (?) - doh! Memory's going in parts - we had mismusters for Rum in the guard room (Neaters!!). I can only drink Wood's 100% ever since!
It was just before that sad day on 31st July 1970 when the Rum Ration was consigned to history.

Timex, where did you get that 41 'display' from?timex wrote:Sunny days...
Was the Sardinia thing when we exercised there ( and Corsica?) in the 70s? I was attached to the Ities. The only advantage being they got a small bottle (150cl?) of brandy in their 24 hr ration packs. The only soldiers I'd have no problem going to war against?!
Where was I when I was with the French Foreign Legion and had wine?
Re: Kick Start?
Got the 41 photo after Sardinia 76, I have another I need to reduce in size from later on that year. Not sure about the wine as at 17 I only drank the finest...Marsovin,Cisk, Hopleaf and failing that Bloody Pernod!

Re: Kick Start?
Grand Harbour looks to be a very lonely place,glad that I have my memories of how it was in the 40s and 50s,when we had a Royal Navy,and the Med.Fleet alone was larger ,and more powerful, than the present,emasculated,set-up.
